The Faded Red and Blue

Have you seen the flag laid out, The faded red and blue? One star missing edges torn It barely made it through. If we believe the promise In the fabric still holds true, Then we must be a harbor For the weak and weary, too. I know your heart beats, I do. My heart beats just like you. Once I saw the Grand Canyon It snowed upon the edge. You were there beside me You cried and then you said, “Deep inside this great divide I know god isnu0027t dead. Call it what you will, Spirit or soul or love instead.” I know broken hearts can mend, and hardened hearts can bend. See, Iu0027m now a father of two boys I love them so. With open eyes and open hearts And minds I hope they grow. And may we leave a world to them Thatu0027s sacred not all sold, Remembering where they came from and where weu0027re all bound to go. Oh my heart overflows, Fear will fade I know. Cause I have seen the flag laid out, Old Glory red and blue.
