The Flag
Music & Lyrics: Michael O'Reilly
(C) 2015 Michael O'Reilly/The Brothers Union
Once you're free your mind's erased from feeling locked down on a trace
People go right by the book to have their lives viewed as a look
The world itself will sit and spin
Break the constant and you'll begin
To turn around and break the walls
Nobody knows until they fall
Until they fall
Live your life to your means and choose the road and come with me
Chance of love comes once a'while so go ahead and break your style
Don't let someone tell you what to do
They don't know what you're living through
We all live inside a shell
It's not the answer to living well
Make a step to make a stride
Normal lives live side by side
When you learn I will pick you up and I will be your man
Years gone by
You're a lonely girl
You're a lonely girl
She said "I don't know"
And I won't go back
I won't go back
I won't go back for more
When you learn I will pick you up and I will be your man
Years gone by
You're a lonely girl
You're a lonely girl
So let's give this a try it's you and me tonight
I won't fail you, no I won't fail you
You're music in my ears
You're songs that I've been singing
You're a lonely girl and I can be your man
