Just Cotton

You are just Cotton sewn together.

You are just Cotton Dyed with Colors

You are just Cotton, just Red, White and Blue.

You evoke tears of joy and tears of Pride

You evoke tears of pain and tears of Sorrow

You are Just Cotton

You are just Cotton, yet when you wave, all are safe.

You are just Cotton, yet Brave Men And Women Die for you.

You are just Cotton, just tattered and torn cotton.

You are just Cotton, just Cotton, just strips of Cotton sewn together.

You are just Cotton; yet children praise you, women give their children and husbands to you.

You are just Cotton, yet brave men and women die for you.

You are just cotton, you are the symbol of a Nation.

You are just Cotton, you are OUR FLAG and how I love you.
