On this day in 1918 a declaration was signed
(that's the 16th of February for those of you listening
on a different day than this song was written on)
Anyways, for this special occasion a beautiful flag was designed
Let me describe it: three horizontal stripes (a revolutionary image)
Gold at the top for the great fields of crops
Green in-between like the lush countryside
At the bottom was red for the blood that was shed
For the land that was loved by the people inside
Inside their hearts is where the love resides
For the land inside the lines drawn by the baltic sea
And the history of Russia and Poland and Germany
and the years that this land was occupied.
Valdas Adamkus knows better than me
He knows his countries history
In his heart he always knew
About the EU and the presidency
The nato accession in 2003
And the aspect ratio change
Of the flag that in his mind
Will always be the same
Gold at the top for the great fields of crops
Green in-between like the lush countryside
At the bottom it’s red for the blood that was shed
For the land that was loved by the people inside
