10. Meadowlark

For My Friends and Family
by Trailand Eltzroth
       
Lyrics:

On the porch in Ocean Park Maine
There’s an American flag waving
Since 1881
I wonder if it has something to say
About how it has been used
To reinforce different points of view

The people change
But the places stay the same
A tree falls down
And a flag keeps waving

There’s a church in Philadelphia
With a rainbow flag out waving
Since 2023
I wonder if it has something to say
About how it has been flown
By the people that it owns

The people change
But the places stay the same
A tree falls down
And a flag keeps waving
A meadowlark sings
Because something is changing
If we cut it all down
We can’t hear what their saying

There’s a flag on a White House
You can see it waving
All that it symbolizes
Another kind of Stars and Stripes
Flies down in Mississippi
And there’s a theory
North and south we say there are different
kinds of conversations
They’re still about the weather and our
preferred modes of transportation
The life we had
The love we lost
The time we’ve given to be with our children
The people change
But the places stay the same
A tree falls down
And a flag keeps waving
A meadowlark sings
Because something is changing
If we cut it all down
We can’t hear what their saying
A tree can grow
While our flag are waving
