lyrics

raise the flag
stand up en masse
for all before us
raise the flag

raise it for the sailors and soldiers who are gone
raise it for the ones who live - please tell your stories more
raise, raise the flag

raise it for the wandering who’ve got nowhere to go
raise it for the beautiful who shelter them a home
raise, raise the flag

so many are working hard on a straighter line
sacrifice the present for a future kind
we dream about seeing kids really fly
raise the flag high enough for all our eyes

raise the flag higher now
raise the flag higher now

my ma was a righteous one
my crippled ma stood her ground
my father worked his hands away
and passed his values down

raise the flag higher now
raise it above the row
high enough for all to see
high enough for you and me

high enough for all to see
high enough for you and me
