Bound By the Thread of the Flag - John Parr

My heart is beating like a drum

This lifetime moment has come

It’s in me

It’s in you

The sacred thread

Red, white and blue

We are bound by the thread of the flag

Sing it loud

Sing it proud

Let the heavenly choir sound

We are bound by the thread of the flag

And now the battle is won

Our country’s glory lives on

It’s in me

It’s in you

The sacred thread

Red, white and blue

We are bound by the thread of the flag

Sing it loud

Sing it proud

Let the heavenly choir sound

We are bound by the thread of the flag

Old Glory’s sewn

With threads of hope

And each star and stripe

Is you and I

And at the setting of the sun

A single trumpet and a drum

Lay me down

Lay me down

In the warm forgiving ground

I am bound by the thread of the flag

Sing it loud

Sing it proud

Let the heavenly choir sound

We are bound by the thread of the flag

Sing it loud

Sing it proud

Let the heavenly choir sound

I am bound, you are bound

We are bound, we are bound

Bound by the thread of the flag
