| 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… |
