Every Country Deserves Respect
Time passes by
The flag ripples in the sky
the flag stately stands
the children see the flag, and
feeling the breeze against their
skin- the children sing.
They sing of country
They sing of countrymen
They sing songs of honor
They sing praises in freedom's
day.
Time passes by
The flag ripples in the sky
The flag stately stands
Men and women see the flag,
And feeling the breeze against
Their skin - the men
And women sing.
They sing of country
They sing of countrymen
They sing praises, in freedom's
Day.
Every country has its flag
Every country has its heroes
Every country in the world
Sends forth its own champions
Of peace and honor.
Every country's countrymen
Loves equally the country to which
Each were born.
Every country has its weeds
Every country has its flowers.
Every country is filled with
Its own breed of giver and takers
Who plant the seeds that other
Must reap.
Time passes by
The flag ripples in the sky
The flag stately stands
Countrymen see the flag,
And feeling the breeze against
Their skin, a patriotic song
Each heart does sing,
As life carries them along.
