Will Butler - Waving Flag lyrics

I'm tired Of waiting For a better day 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?
