Colors Flying High

Your flag, your alibi
Can you hide behind
Claiming might is right?

Raise your fist to the sky
While below your boots
Common men die

Colors fly
Tell us who to love and who to hate
And by the by
Will the mem'ries of our morals fade?
Staying true
To your own convictions in this haze
Is harder to
Do than say

So choose a color to live by
Your goal, your faith, your virtue
Give it all
Be the best cause nothing less will do

You can rule the world with colors flying high
You know that if you stay true
Green or blue
Red or white
You can't lose
With your colors flying high

What's your aesthetics, ethics?
It's not like mine
Not identical

We know we get a balance
A common line
Or a hard fall

Colors rise
Tell us who to hate and who adore
And as you try
To sort out what you've been fighting for
Holding on

To the line you drew into the sand
Will show them all
Where you stand

So choose your colors true and bright
As hero, liege or sinner
Give it all
Be the best cause nothing less will do
If you must go down with colors flying high
You know you're still a winner
Pink or pale
Black as night
You can't fail
With your colors flying high

So choose the color you will fly
Fight on for your convictions
Give it all
Be the best cause nothing less will do
You can rule the world with colors flying high
Your genuine ignition
Green or blue
Red or white
You can't lose
With your colors flying high
