Flag & The Rainbow (Update)

Long Island's young son Marquez;
He was murdered for being Gay.
Matt Shepard's gone for a soldier,
In the war of fifty states.
For Michelle, for Roxanne,
Shot in Oregon '95,
And for Billy Jack and
Northington and Steen,
Let's keep the pride alive.

In this land of the free,
there's a people it is told,
With no flag but a rainbow,
No anthem but their own.

We sing for the dead and the gone,
For the daughters and the sons.
We March toward laws for the living,
In the States and Washington.

Black, Red, Yellow, White,
Lavender, Bi and All;
We're the Rainbow short and tall.
Don't ask us or we'll tell you,
That the writing's on the wall.

For the Flag,
For the Rainbow,
From Stonewall to L.A.
Pride is alive,
In the country
Pride is alive,
In a people
