My Country's Cloth

I grow with you in life, 
I grow with you in my heart, 

You were brought to me in my youth, 
I respected you in my presence, 

A guide that showed me my country's past, 
A symbol of my countrymen's pride, 
The affection and love of what is true, 

You take us far and wide, 
you teach us views of life, 

A symbol of strength, 
A show of passion, 
My show of this nation, 

We provide for thee, 
We support thee, 
We respect thee, 

And We as a people will protect, honor and care for thee!
