Flags Songtext

von Innocence Mission

I have seen your garden growing madly.
There I find you, hands in the earth.
I have heard you talking with your children,
On your level, never talking down.

And I don't know how you cannot see
Where your gifts may be found.

You say
You know no tricks, have no talents-
Isn't everyone supposed to have their own?
Yes, but few are obvious.
Few draw notice to those who possess them,
Like flags waving themselves.

And you wonder how,
How I can say
That your gifts do abound.

I don't know how
You cannot see
Where your gifts may be found.
Do you understand
When I say
That your gifts do abound?
