There's a Star Spangled Banner waving somewhere in a distant land so many miles away. Only Uncle Sam's great heroes get to go there where I wish that I could also live someday.
I'd see Lincoln, Custer, Washington and Perry and Nathan Hale and Colin Kelley too! There's a Star Spangled Banner waving somewhere, waving o'er the land of heroes brave and true.
In this war with its mad schemes of destruction of our country fair and our sweet liberty. By the mad dictators, leaders of corruption, can't the U. S. use a mountain boy like me?
God gave me the right to be a free American and for that precious right I'd gladly die. There's a Star Spangled Banner waving somewhere, That is where I want to lived when I die.
Tho' I realize I am crippled, that is true, sir! Please don't judge my courage by my twisted leg. Let me show my Uncle Sam what I can do, sir! Let me help to bring the axis down a peg.
If I do some great deed I will be a hero and a hero brave is what I want to be. There's a Star Spangled Banner waving somewhere in that heaven there should be a place for me.
"There's a Star Spangled Banner Waving" Somewhere talks about a man that is willing to die to be a free American. Whereever the star-spangled banner is waving is where he wants to be living when he's going to die. The "somewhere" in the title refers to heaven where the heroes (the patriots) have gone.
