Keeping the Faith

September 7, 2020

I believe in my country That waving flag promises freedom And hope and opportunity A bright new future

But to so many it broke that promise They believed in that flag but it didn't believe in them

It's easy to point a finger at someone else entirely To say it's their fault We didn't do anything

That's the problem We didn't do anything Now people are forced to scream just to get our attention

We all have a right to be angry Those are our brothers and sisters betrayed by that flag It lied to all of us

But it still stands for something It's up to us to decide what But with decision must come action Good people must do something

If we want people to keep the faith We must act to fix our problems We all stand together When it lies to one, it lies to us all

Except that flag is only a symbol It can't do anything It's not the one that started this We did

We broke the promise We turned a blind eye to the lies So now it's up to us We all have to fix it

Because we are better than that
