Flags Lyrics
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
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
While a wicked one stands
And our lives blow about like flags on the land
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
While the monsters still stand
And our lives blow about like flags on the land
Yet their promise so thin
And our lives blow about like flags in the wind
You who hunger will hunger no more
Oh the last shall be first, of this I am sure
All you lonely be lonely no more
Yes the last shall be first, of this I am sure
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

New International Version (©1984) "But many who are first will be last, and the last first." Mark 10:31
Its talking about all the suffering in the world... whether suffering from living in a third world country, to another situation you are living in.. or mental/emotional/physical/or/and spiritual.. And is based on the bibles verse from, Mark 10:31... The world has drained us, we all hurting some way or another.. but it is sort of like a hope song? Its about everything.. like rejection,loneliness, heart ache, disappointment, failure, poverty... everything.

this is my understanding of the verse: Who's at fault is not important Good intentions lie dormant (inactive/ asleep) and we're all to blame While apathy (an absence of emotion or enthusiasm) acts like an ally (friendly association to) My enemy and I are one and the same

Stop pointing the finger; we are all to blame in one way or another for the troubles that man has made. Staying in an apathetic state (an absence of emotion or lack of enthusiasm) is our own enemy... To not actually care or act upon those issues we face/ have made, choosing not to respond at all- which is in fact responding with a resounding no. Sometimes the enemy is ourselves- it is our sinful human nature that gets in the way of a life of freedom offered to us by Jesus.
Does anyone have more of an idea of what the flags could symbolize? for me atm i think it represents kind of the steps each man has made and stuff.... idk
Also Matthew 5:1-12 talks of how even though we may struggle as believers or whoever on this earth, if we believe in the gospel we can "Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven.."(verse 12, "Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted"(verse 4)
