Sandy Rapp - Flag & The Rainbow (Update)

Flag & the Rainbow (update)
© Sandy Rapp 1998
Long Island's young son Marquez,
He was murdered for being Gay.
Matt Shepard's gone for a soldier,
In the war of fifty states.
For Michelle, for Roxanne, for the Orlando 49,
And for Billy Jack and Northington and Steen,
Let's keep the pride alive.

In this land of the free,
There's a people it is told,
With no flag but a rainbow,
No anthem but their own.

Chorus:
For the Flag, for the Rainbow,
From Stonewall to L.A.
Pride is alive, in the country day to day.
Pride is alive, in a people grand and gay.

We sing for the dead and the gone,
For the daughters and the sons.
We march toward laws for the living,
In the States and Washington.

Repeat Chorus

Black, Red, Yellow, White, Lavender, Bi and All
We're the Rainbow short and tall.
Don't ask us or we'll tell you,
That the writing's on the wall.

Repeat Chorus
