Now as we display
the stars and stripes
we must not betray
the rights
it portrays
endless macho war games
will lead us to the end of days
let’s not look to hate or blame
sully our name and put to shame
the image that we wave so proud
that symbolizes our rights endowed
this symbol which across the earth
now will only serve to birth
hate
which will conquer love
unless we see the beauty
gleaming from the dove
which will watch from above
flying
to shine its peace
that it may heal our crying
