Because I am English - St. George's Day


That white flag with the red cross
It's my flag too
Because I am English.

I'm proud to be from a maritime nation
That connects with the world
Because I am English.

I hold true to my values
Even when all appears lost
Because I am English.

I defend the green
In our green and pleasant land
Because I am English.

Remoaner, Nimby and worse
I don't care what names you call me
Because I am English.

In Churchill's words
I keep buggering on
Because I am English.

That said, I'm willing to learn
and to find middle ground
Because I am English.

I will spend St. Geroge's day
Gardening and moaning about the weather
Because I am English.
