Flags

[Verse 1]
Come
Tell me your trouble
I'm not your answer
But I'm a listening ear
Reality
Has left you reeling
All facts and no feeling
No faith and all fear

[Chorus 1]
I don't know why a good man will fall
While a wicked one stands
And our lives blow about
Like flags on the land

[Verse 2]
Who's at fault
Is not important
Good intentions lie dormant
And we're all to blame
While apathy
Acts like an ally
My enemy and I
Are one and the same

[Chorus 2]
I don't know why the innocents fall
While the monsters still stand
And our lives blow about
Like flags on the land

I don't know why our words are so proud
Yet their promise so thin
And our lives blow about
Like flags in the wind

Oh oh oh oh

[Bridge]
You who mourn will be comforted
You who hunger will hunger no more
All the last shall be first
Of this I am sure
You who weep now will laugh again
All you lonely, be lonely no more
Yes, the last will be first
Of this I'm sure

[Chorus 3]
I don't know why the innocents fall
While the monsters stand
I don't know why the little ones thirst
But I know the last shall be first

[Outro]
I know the last shall be first
I know the last shall be first
