A Yellow Ribbon Copyright © 2003 Words and Music by Jose M. Rodriguez Written on 28 May 2003, Iraq Yellow ribbons in the yards “Old Glory” flying high Families waiting, Worried but with hearts full of pride For those serving our nation In some foreign land A simple letter brings tears of joy To somebody’s sister, husband, or son A loving mother Praying for them to come home While yellow ribbons with the flags are flown They are the sons and daughters of America One for each ribbon tied to a tree They are the sons and daughters of America A symbol of freedom for the world to see But one yellow ribbon Will remain out in the yard And one folded flag will be held close to a heart
