in red and white they waved
standing strong against the wind;
against the tides of times of old,
our stars and stripes stood tall;
a little bit brighter, a little bit prouder;
illuminating skies of grey
and faces reflecting hope;
shoulder to shoulder, touching
swaying in victory, in unity
silent tears in eyes of young;
quiet prayers sent up to the heavens,
from hearts of old that still remembered;
I became you, and you became me;
on this day of one man's dream,
united as one nation, one people;
and one flag reclaimed it's pride
