The Flag Still Flies (Cover)

[Verse 1] I’ve heard the noise, I’ve seen the fight, Every headline, black and white. But in the silence past the sound, I still see what we’re built around. They gave their dawn so we could dream, Sewed their hope in red and cream. Now it’s up to you and me To live the words of “liberty.” [Chorus] The flag still flies in the heart of this land, In every small town, every helping hand. We’ve got our views, and that’s all right But we stand the same in the morning light. It’s the love that lasts, not the alibis The flag still flies. [Verse 2] Coffee cups and kitchen prayers, Stories passed through rocking chairs. Every soldier’s name we say, Brings the meaning back today. Some came home, some stayed gone, But their spirit keeps us strong. We’ve all got different ways to see But one sky’s big enough for you and me. [Chorus] The flag still flies in the heart of this land, In every small town, every helping hand. We’ve got our views, and that’s all right But we stand the same in the morning light. It’s the love that lasts, not the alibis The flag still flies. [Bridge – Spoken + sung softly, piano + strings] “I know not everyone sees this flag the same way… Some see pain, some see pride. But every color in that cloth was sewn with a promise that we could keep trying. And we don’t have to stand the same way just remember who gave you the choice. That’s freedom. That’s grace. That’s what keeps it flyin’.” [Final Chorus – Big, full harmony + gospel lift] The flag still flies, over hearts and graves, Over every soul it tried to save. We’re here for them ...... not the other way ’round, So lift your voice, don’t tear it down. Before it’s gone, before goodbye ...... The flag still flies. [Outro] Yeah… the flag still flies. And it’s worth standin’ for.
