The Darin Dixon Band

Intro: D A Bm7 G [Verso 1] D By candlelight on Arch Street A With war outside the door Bm A widow held the future G In the fabric she once wore D Thirteen dreams in simple stripes A Stars traced by faithful hand G She whispered prayers with every cut G For a notyetformed land G [Refrão] D She was stitching the nation together A Threaded hope through red white blue Bm One star at a time by faith not design G Trusting what God would do D No crown no king no silver throne A Just freedom sewn forever G In a quiet room with a praying heart D She stitched the nation together D [Verso 2] D No ink had signed its destiny A No bell had yet been rung Bm But heaven watched the needle move G For old and yettocome D A circle drawn so none would rise A Above anothers stand G A country born of humble souls G Placed gently in Gods hands G [Refrão] D She was stitching the nation together A Threaded hope through red white blue Bm One star at a time by faith not design G Trusting what God would do D No crown no king no silver throne A Just freedom sewn forever G In a quiet room with a praying heart D She stitched the nation together Instrumental: A Bm [Ponte] G When cannons roared and courage failed D And men fell to their knees G That banner carried silent prayers Asus4 A On every battle breeze D Solo: A Bm7 Bm G [Refrão] D She was stitching the nation together A Before we even knew our name Bm A fragile cloth a faithful God G And a providential flame D So when that flag goes flying high A Through storm or fairweather G Remember it was born in prayer A D When she stitched the nation together Outro: A Bm A G D
