Waving Flag
I'm tired
of waiting
for a better day
but I'm scared
and I'm lazy and
nothing's gonna change
The war is
not over
the blood's still on the ground
but I'm far
and I'm safe and
I will not make a sound
I watch from the edge
but all I can see are the waves
The flags
are waving
They're ready for the past
They're strong
and they're saying
the fighting's gonna last
till the dead
can rise up from their beds
and laugh with their friends
the future
is only a dream
You sought
the future
they tried to make you hide
We took
forever
but now we're on your side
Let us rest
with our friends
in the sun
cause the battle is won
the present
is only a dream
Why don't you let us be?
Why won't you let us be?
of waiting
for a better day
but I'm scared
and I'm lazy and
nothing's gonna change
The war is
not over
the blood's still on the ground
but I'm far
and I'm safe and
I will not make a sound
I watch from the edge
but all I can see are the waves
The flags
are waving
They're ready for the past
They're strong
and they're saying
the fighting's gonna last
till the dead
can rise up from their beds
and laugh with their friends
the future
is only a dream
You sought
the future
they tried to make you hide
We took
forever
but now we're on your side
Let us rest
with our friends
in the sun
cause the battle is won
the present
is only a dream
Why don't you let us be?
Why won't you let us be?
