Angela Brown - Flags over South lyrics

One by one Against the odds One on one Against the odds They come by the dozens One by one We do not know to follow One by one Yet we do not always reason One by one One by one we come to understand Flags over south Oh, Confederate flag Flying guanine winds, Rooted in shame Beyond all reasons Out of pity and pain A flag that cries In the broken air Flown shamefully Out of sorrow and deceit It represents memories of terror Stones of unmarked graves Unforgotton memories of our past Once removed from blame The time has changed The anger remains With unsought questions asked For its vein purpose Of painful ignorance Thought I should change Of deception and of tiery Of American values Thought I would change The hate and regret Thought I could change American values The Confederate flag flies In history in vein History must not be Taken for granted For all its worth One by one Against the odds One on one Against the odds They come by the dozens One by one Me and you against the odds Flags over south
