A Flag Speaks At Hampshire College
?So...... burn me
you can try
To use my colors for a fire
But why ??
I am the flag of Freedom
Semper Fi
Red - the blood of patriots hear them sigh
White - their Mothers’ tears hear them cry
Blue - hopes and dreams of freedom..never die
So... burn me
symbol of your right to speak
burn me
flag of human rights
burn me
flag by whose bright lights
those who thirst for freedom set their sights
So... burn me... BURN ME UP .... LIGHT THE SKY !!
Have your little say
Then say goodbye.
Defile the flag of Freedom
for your gain,
Only your own honor
has been stained.
In the hearts of men
I truly fly,
I am the flag of Freedom
Semper Fi.
You can only burn me, I can never die.
