Red, White, and Blue
April 4, 2013
Red, dark and colored
the blood lost from the heroes
we honor today
the names in Vietnam
White, pure and innocent
the children who roam the street
Florida, New York, California, Arizona
Blue, dark and full of wonder
From the Gulf to Atlantic, to the Pearl Harbor
we are a nation of power, of loss
From Washington to Obama
from Lincoln’s release to Martin’s dream
from then to now
We are not always proud of what we’ve done
from colonies to independence
Democrat or Republic
In God We Trust
