Shame Songtext / Lyric

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, ready, 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...
