Follow the Flag
Follow the Flag: Embrace a Meaning Beyond Yourself
Lyrics
You can stand alone
You have the choice to stand alone.
Or with somebody else
You can also stand with somebody else.
Or stand with all of us together
Alternatively, you can stand with a collective "us" together.
If you can believe
Belief is essential; if you can believe.
In something bigger than yourself
Believe in something larger than yourself.
You can follow the flag forever
You can commit to following a symbol or cause, represented by the flag, indefinitely.
They say it's just a dream
Despite skepticism, some dismiss it as just a dream.
That dreamers dreamed
Refers to the dreams of idealists.
That it's an empty thing that really has no meaning
Cynics argue that these dreams are empty and lack real meaning.
They say it's all a lie
The assertion that the dream is a complete falsehood.
But it's not a lie
Contrary to claims, the dream is not a lie.
I'm going to follow the flag 'til I die
Expresses unwavering commitment to follow the flag until death.
Into every life a little rain must fall
Life includes challenges ("rain"), unavoidable but temporary.
But it's not gonna rain forever
The adversity won't last forever.
You can rise above--you can rise above it all
You can overcome challenges and rise above them.
We will follow the flag together
The collective commitment to follow the flag continues.
We will follow the flag together
Reiteration of the collective commitment to follow the flag together.
