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 isn't dead.
Call it what you will,
Spirit or soul or love instead."
I know broken hearts can mend,
And hardened hearts can bend.
See, I'm now a father of two boys
I love them so.
With open eyes and open hearts
Cnd minds I hope they grow.
Cnd may we leave a world to them
That's sacred not all sold,
Remembering where they came from
And where we're 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.
