Flags Lyrics - Flags - Brooke Fraser

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 and 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 

Oh 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 shall 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
