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 soothing

And our lives blow about
Like flags in the wind


Oh oh oh oh

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


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
