- Flags LyricsCome, 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
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
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
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'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

When we search for the deeper meaning hidden within the lines, Brooke Fraser's 'Flags' is an album that reflects life's injustices and the unfolding of fate. The metaphor used in the song is 'flags blowing in the wind' which indicates the unpredictable character of life's outcomes. It is very reassuring to know that the suffering ones will find consolation and that the downtrodden will be lifted up. The lyrics of Flags concentrate mainly on reflection, spirituality, inspiration, social commentary, and angst. In contrast, the song also brings to light the need for empathy and support, disillusionment with reality, injustice, and moral confusion, apathy and shared guilt, hope and comfort for the suffering, and reversal of fortunes. The lyrics are questioning life's unfairness and the human condition, which is a difficult concept for younger children to comprehend without their parents' help. The vocabulary is mature but not explicit, and the subjects, while profound, do not include anything that would be considered inappropriate for kids with parental supervision.
