Lyrics

Flag

Coming with his own designs, his own style, his own awakening

He told me yes he can forgive, but he can never forget it

Weapons always close to hand, for he has seen too much hatred

Only weapon that he chooses is love, universal call now for justice

And I'll keep keep on waving this flag, cover my head, cover my back now [x2]

And I'll keep keep on waving this flag, cover your head, cover your back now

People keep on waving this flag, cover your head, cover your back now

You know, you know, I said praise Jandamarra and the Bunuba tribe

Building the resistance with strength and pride

Said no to domination of the ancient clans

Protection of his people and his tribal lands

Healing in the tunnel at his mothers right hand

Healing in the tunnel with the spirit of the land

Precedent set for the present day

Time to stand time to keep waving that flag

Cover my head, cover my back now

And I'll keep keep on waving this flag, cover my head, cover my back now

People keep on waving this flag and I'll cover your head, and I'll cover your back now

People keep on waving this flag, cover my head, cover my back now

Said people keep on waving this flag

(keep waving, keep on waving that flag)

People keep on waving this flag, cover my back now

(keep waving, keep on waving that flag)

Coming with my own designs, feeling strong, feeling able

Community is coming alive, loaded weapons are on the table

And I'll keep keep on waving this flag, cover my head, cover my back now

People keep on waving this flag, cover my head, cover my back now

People keep on waving this flag, and I'll cover your head and I'll cover your back now

People keep on waving this flag, cover my head, cover my back now

Said people keep on waving this flag

(keep waving, keep on waving that flag)

People keep on waving this flag, cover my back now

(keep waving, keep on waving that flag)
