Analysis of The Red White and Blue
Gina Louise Roth 1973 (Pennsylvania)
Once a baby so precious and small
I knew this child had it all
Then a 5 year old so strong and wise
It all showed in his big Brown eyes
Now a teen he know it all well
Or so he thought until it all fell
A young man he is now red white and blue
A navy sailor he is fighting for you
He stands for our freedom so strong and so true
Just remember his words, I'd die for you
He's so far away God please bring him home
And always make sure he is never alone
Please bring them all some with babies of new
And remember they're all the red white and blue
Once a baby so precious and small
Now a man who'd die for us all
