Patchwork Flag by Larry Lacerte

Patchwork Flag

Go to work for a country
That tells me I don’t belong
Sewing flags in a factory
Been at it since dawn
These stars and stripes
Are all I’ve ever known
Trying to deport me
That- would break my home

It’s all just patchwork
Stitching together scraps
The fabric of a nation
Is a patchwork flag

Momma’s got a full house
She’s raising those kids alone
Always making new clothes
From the rags we’ve outgrown
Her smile lifts my spirits
As I walk on out the door
The only things that’s illegal here
Is working hard- to be so poor

It’s all just patchwork
Stitching together scraps
The fabric of a nation
Is a patchwork flag

Oh say can you see
We’re all suffering
Tattered and frayed
We’re unravelling

It’s all just patchwork
Stitching together scraps
The fabric of a nation
Is a patchwork flag

It’s all just patchwork
Stitching together scraps
The fabric of a nation
Is a patchwork flag
