Hold on to the flag that flies high
Even if others want to disgrace it
Hold on to our children who seek education
Even if our schools are failing
Hold on to our economy
Even if taxes rise and jobs are few
Hold on to our forests
Even if pollution kills the air
Hold on to all that is good
Even when others have given up
