The Flagmaker, 1775 - Jessica Molaskey[00:00:01]

With the guns flaring[00:00:13]

And drums pounding[00:00:16]

There's no hope of getting rest[00:00:20]

With the lights glaring[00:00:25]

And calls sounding[00:00:29]

And the clenching in your chest[00:00:32]

When the man's in battle[00:00:39]

And the baby's rattle[00:00:42]

Only makes you more depressed[00:00:46]

The wise woman does what she knows[00:00:53]

If it's fighting she fights[00:00:58]

If it's sewing she sews[00:01:01]

When the tension inside[00:01:05]

Overflows and goes too far[00:01:07]

One more star one more stripe[00:01:12]

To escape your lonely bed[00:01:16]

One more star one more stripe[00:01:20]

Join the blue the white and red[00:01:25]

One more star one more stripe[00:01:29]

As you pray your child's not dead[00:01:33]

With the roof leaking[00:01:41]

And walls wetter[00:01:45]

And the night as black as pitch[00:01:48]

With the wind shrieking[00:01:56]

And his last letter[00:02:00]

Says his fighting in a ditch[00:02:03]

Then the candle flickers[00:02:11]

And the river bickers[00:02:15]

What else can you do but stitch[00:02:18]

One more star one more stripe[00:02:26]

Till you feel the rising sun[00:02:30]

One more star one more stripe[00:02:34]

Till this foolishness is done[00:02:38]

One more star one more stripe[00:02:42]

We'll be waiting when we've won[00:02:47]

Grab a needle grab a thimble[00:02:53]

If it's all that keeps you sane[00:02:55]

Think of freedom as a symbol[00:02:57]

Think of justice as a game[00:02:58]

Think of life with independence[00:03:00]

Think of muskets and brigades[00:03:03]

Think of taking the oppressors[00:03:04]

Think of banners and parades[00:03:06]

When the gate creaks[00:03:08]

And the paint cracks[00:03:09]

And the cat cries[00:03:10]

And the night falls[00:03:11]

Raise a flag[00:03:12]

Raise a flag[00:03:13]

Raise a flag till you're free[00:03:15]

One more star one more stripe[00:03:21]

Till this bloodshed's finally through[00:03:25]

One more star one more stripe[00:03:29]

Till they come back home to you[00:03:33]

One more star one more stripe[00:03:36]

When there's nothing you can do[00:03:41]

If they take all the things[00:03:53]

That define what you were[00:03:56]

And are[00:03:59]

One more star[00:04:04]
