Flags Over South Lyrics - Singles - Angela Brown

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
