Michael W. Smith's 'There She Stands' is a patriotic song that uses the imagery of a flag to symbolize resilience, hope, and remembrance. The lyrics describe the flag waving through difficult times, reminding listeners of sacrifices made by the brave and the enduring spirit of freedom. While it references themes of hope and standing firm, the song is not explicitly Christian in content, focusing instead on national pride and perseverance.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

When the night seems to say

All hope is lost, gone away

But I know I'm not alone

By the light she stands


There she waves, faithful friend

Shimmering stars, westward wind

Show the way, Carry me

To the place she stands


Just when you think it might be over

Just when you think the fight is gone

Someone will risk his life to raise her

There she stands


There she flies, clear blue skies

Reminds us with red of those that died

Washed in white by the brave

In their strength, she stands


When evil calls itself a martyr

When all your hopes come crashing down

Someone will pull her from the rubble

There she stands


We've seen her flying torn and tattered

We've seen her stand the test of time

And through it all the fools have fallen

There she stands


By the dawn's, early light

And through the fight. She stands
