Who would have imagined
This could ever happen
Oliver Anthony just gave us anthem
In a country where we watch the flag unfurl
They would one day shut down this world
Speaking to the problems we all feel
We need to bow our heads and kneel
When the children of the nation will ask
Was this all worth saving
Working all day just to pay your dues
Homeless adrift on every corner without a clue
The world crying tears only falls on deaf ears
Wishing those we elected would only hear
Red white and blue watching the flag unfurl
Some are predicting that it will happen again
We the world cannot ignore the signs my friend
It will take a lot more that just solely hoping
Every day we see morals and values eroding
Teach the children we shall not be swayed
We are in the hour coming together can save the day
Standing under the flag watching it unfurl
Our voices will not all the shut down of the world
