Flags

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

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

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 in the same

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

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 am sure

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

I know the last shall be first

I know the last shall be first
