Scarecrow |
| Showers of your crimson blood |
| Seep into a nation calling up a flood |
| Of narrow minds who legislate |
| Thinly veiled intolerance |
| Bigotry and hate |
| But they tortured and burned you |
| They beat you and they tied you |
| They left you cold and breathing |
| For love they crucified you |
| I can’t forget hard as I try |
| This silhouette against the sky |
| Scarecrow crying |
| Waiting to die wondering why |
| Scarecrow trying |
| Angels will hold carry your soul away |
| This was our brother |
| This was our son |
| This shepherd young and mild |
| This unassuming one |
| We all gasp this can’t happen here |
| We’re all much too civilized |
| Where can these monsters hide |
| But they are knocking on our front door |
| They’re rocking in our cradles |
| They’re preaching in our churches |
| And eating at our tables |
| I search my soul |
| My heart and in my mind |
| To try and find forgiveness |
| This is someone child |
| With pain unreconciled |
| Filled up with father’s hate |
| Mother’s neglect |
| I can forgive But I will not forget |
| Scarecrow crying |
| Waiting to die wondering why |
| Scarecrow trying |
| Rising above all in the name of love |
