Shame Lyrics

opened up my eyes and saw the sky
over meadows where i lie
then i heard the children cry
in my sleep i saw a distant light
it arose and left in flight
then the shadows faded to white
in the night

Why should everybody have to pay?
shame on you, shame on me
is there any place to hide away?
blame it on humanity
Why should everybody have to pay?
shame on you, shame on me
will our children have a say?

field of sand exposed under the sun
where a river used to run
would it ever be undone?
hide the wounds that we tried to heal in time
with our power so divine
such an unforgiven crime such a crime

Why should everybody have to pay?
shame on you, shame on me
is there any place to hide away?
blame it on humanity
Why should everybody have to pay?
shame on you, shame on me
will our children have a say?

are you ready?
it won't be long until we know
are you ready?

Why should everybody have to pay?
shame on you, shame on me
is there any place to hide away?
blame it on humanity
Why should everybody have to pay?
shame on you, shame on me
is there any place to hide away?
blame it on humanity
you should have known better
