I’m a banner flying high and tethered to a pole
When your spirits dying I will fortify your soul
Need not greed the creed I heed & virtues I extol
I am, I am a union banner
Chorus:
I’m the silken symbol – of unity and hope
Mighty yet so nimble - I can dance on pole & rope
I will lead you onward – however steep the slope
I am, I am a union banner
I believe it’s not naive to love my fellow man
Those who practice to deceive are not part of my clan
Words of aspiration I will bring to all I can
I am, I am a union banner
Chorus
Greens and blues and scarlet hues fly high upon my mast
Mines & mills the views I choose to illustrate my past
I demand a future where the ones now first are last
I am, I am a union banner
Chorus
On display in merry May my words in silken thread
Thoughts that say on Workers’ Day remember martyred dead
Freedom’s bell will toll in hell when want & fear have fled
I am, I am a union banner
