about

I created this new mix of 'The Red, White & Blue' as a call to action for the 2022 election year when American democracy is on the line. I was inspired to write a patriotic song that speaks to the current moment when flag-waving white supremacists are marching on the Capitol and extremists are mobilizing to overturn election results that don't go their way. We can't give in to the liars and haters. Our flag and this nation belongs to all of us.

THE RED,WHITE AND BLUE (JAN 6 MIX)
Lyrics and music by Mary Lou Fulton

When I was five years old
I led the rodeo parade
Proudly waved the flag
As the marching band played
People stood and cheered
I thought it was for me
Til mama told me later
The love was for our country

The red, white and blue
Belongs to you and me
It flies for everyone
Who dreams of being free
The red, white and blue
Reminds us what could be
A more perfect union
A new history

Now I see people
Wave the flag just like a gun
Demanding to know
Whose side are you on?
I’m on the side of justice
On the side of liberty
And I’m not going to let them
Take my flag from me

The red, white and blue
Belongs to you and me
It flies for everyone
Who dreams of being free
The red, white and blue
Reminds us what could be
A more perfect union
A new history

Many times our nation
Has burned with fear and rage
Oh we never never gave up
Kept finding a way
After the darkest night
Comes the brightest day

So let’s start our own parade
And speak up when we see
Hatred and lies
Disguised as loyalty
Defend our nation’s promise
Defend democracy
And hold on to our flag
From sea to shining sea

The red, white and blue
Belongs to you and me
It flies for everyone
Who dreams of being free
The red, white and blue
Reminds us what could be
A more perfect union…

The red, white and blue
Belongs to you and me
It flies for everyone of us
Who dreams of being free
The red, white and blue
Reminds us what could be
A more perfect union
A new history
