Eddie Sanders - Born To Fly Lyrics

I've been tattered and torn, my edges sometimes worn
I've Been loved and been hated, since the day that I was born
Folded, faded, put down, I've been raised high
I was born to fly
I'm saluted by soldiers who fight my wars
Protested by others for the things that I stand for
I'm respected, I'm humbled, still I get stepped on time to time
But I was born to fly
I was born to fly above the land and sea
I honor those who died for me
A symbol of our freedom and our rights
Free as the wind with liberty
My colors wave for all to see
I'll be there beside you in the fight
No I'm not one to ever run and hide
Cause I was born to fly

I admit that it hurts, what's going on today
But don't turn your back, and look the other way
Speak loud and stay proud, and don't forget the reasons why
I was born to fly
I've proved that I'm stronger than all the rest
If they wanna come try me, they better bring their best
My brothers, my sisters, yes we Will Survive
Cause I was born to fly

I was born to fly above the land and sea
I honor those who died for me
A symbol of our freedom and our rights
Free as the wind with liberty
My colors wave for all to see
I'll be there beside you in the fight
No, I'm not one to ever run and hide
I was born to fly

Tattered and torn, edges sometimes worn
Loved and hated since the day that I was born to fly
I was born to fly
