Flags of America Lyrics

Far in the land

Where my journey began

Where the sky

Paints a portrait of my pain

I feel the wind

Blowing the sail

To a land I've never seen

But I can hear them calling my name

I see the flags of America

Red and white

Blue red and white

A promise of peace and of liberty

Something lost or stolen

Where I've been

Now I stand up tall

With my arms open wide

Up the sun

And he just tells me

Child, if you see what I've seen

You'll follow your dreams

We sail through the cold

But there's a fire in my soul

Now the sky

Paints a portrait of my dreams

I smile but I'm afraid

The weight of choice that I've made

But I know

So many more

Are counting on me

I see the flags of America

Red and white

Blue red and white

A promise of peace and of liberty

Something lost or stolen

Where I've been

Now I stand up tall

With my arms open wide

Up the sun

And he just tells me

Child, if you see what I've seen

You'll follow your dreams

And the journey is long

But with my father songs

It's easy to smile

When I remember the days

He'd fight for me

Put my mind at ease

Believed in a world

Where everyone was free

He'd say

We'd all be there one day
