Lyrics Need I be a hero man To admire what true heroes have done? With deepest valor they put it on the line In their fight for freedom They’re bred in ordinary towns Yet take their posts along the fringes Of the wilderness so that the city May thrive in peace An extraordinary leap of faith That something better is yet to come All things equal, I think that I would rather Be glazed upon with colors... Colors that encapsulate the future (Colors that captivate) Let the person determine it himself The colors that evoke both hope and envy (Colors initiate) From that person left on the world's shelf Across the sea are sown The seeds of a brave new world Where history turns to stroll Along a blazed new path And the window opens, lets a fresh breeze blow That loosens up the knots That animates the cloth Donned crimson, white, and indigo Need I be a righteous man To appreciate what the founders had done Self preservation bowed to principle When it came to freedom From palaces of enlightenment The doctrines of self determined Citizens, colonists no more For sure they were never going back... Back to the stale feudal system (Back to the feudal lord) Overlords dictating terms of self Nor back to colonial old world missions (Back to the whipping board) Native peoples subjects of someone else East of east, you’ll find The western fringe of western thought A magic link that binds The world together as one One of innovation, democratization Prosperous & fulfilling long lives Crimson, white, and indigo That's where I'll go That's what I'll show What my wind will blow |
