Reprise Records - Flags Of Freedom lyrics

[Chorus] Today's the day our younger son Is going off to war Fighting in the age old battle We've sometimes won before Flags that line old main street Are blowing in the wind These must be the flags of freedom flying [Verse] Church bells are ringing As the families stand and wave Some of them are crying But the soldiers look so brave Looking straight ahead Like they know just where they're going Past the flags of freedom flyin' Sister has her headphones on She hears the music blasting She sees her brother marchin' by Their bond is everlasting Listening to Bob Dylan singing in 1963 Watching the flags of freedom flying She sees the president speaking On a Flat-screen TV In the window of the old appliance store She turns to see her brother again But he's already walking past The flags of freedom flying Have you seen the flags of freedom? What color are they now? Do you think that you believe in yours More than they do theirs somehow? When you see the flags of freedom flying [Chorus]
