Face The Flag
-
Face the flag of stars
and bars
Of red white and blue,
A flag that guarantees
the rights
For men like me and you.
-
Face the flag, son! Read
what's written there,
The history, the progress
and heritage we share.
Our flag reflects the
past, son, but stands for so much more,
And in this Age of Aquarius,
it still flies in the fore.
-
It leads the forward
movement, shared by all mankind,
To learn...To love...To
live with peace of mind;
To learn the mysteries
of space, as well as those of earth;
To love each man for
what he is, regardless of his birth;
To live without the fear
of reprisal for belief;
To ease the tensions
of a world that cries out for relief.
-
Face the flag of stars
and bars
Of red white and blue,
A flag that guarantees
the rights
For men like me and you.
-
Face the flag, son! Take
a good long look.
What you're seeing now
can't be found in a history book.
It's the present and
the future, son. It's being written now.
And you're the one to
write to it, but the flag can show you how.
-
Do you know what it stands
for? What its makers meant?
To think...To speak...The
privilege of dissent;
To think our leaders
might be wrong...to stand and tell them so.
These are the things
that other men under other flags will never know.
But responsibility...that's
the cross that free men must bear,
And if you don't accept
that, the freedom isn't there.
-
Face the flag of stars
and bars
Of red and white and
blue,
A flag that guarantees
the rights
For men like me and you.
-
Face the flag, son, and
face reality.
Our strengths and our
freedoms, are based in unity.
The flag is but a symbol,
son, of the world's greatest nation,
And as long as it keeps
flying, there's cause for celebration.
-
So do what you've got
to do, but always keep in mind
A lot of people believe
in peace... but there are the other kind.
If we want to keep these
freedoms, we may have to fight again.
God forbid, but if we
do, let's always fight to win,
For the fate of a loser,
is futile and it's bare...
No love...No peace...just
misery and despair.
-
Face the flag, son...and
thank God it's still there.
