Scarecrow

[00:11.19] Showers of your crimson blood
[00:16.55] Seep into a nation calling up a flood
[00:22.02] Of narrow minds who legislate
[00:27.52] Thinly veiled intolerance
[00:30.24] Bigotry and hate
[00:33.08] But they tortured and burned you
[00:35.74] They beat you and they tied you
[00:38.58] They left you cold and breathing
[00:41.24] For love they crucified you
[00:43.94] I can't forget hard as I try
[00:49.49] This silhouette against the sky
[00:54.99] Scarecrow crying
[01:00.35] Waiting to die wondering why
[01:05.84] Scarecrow trying
[01:11.32] Angels will hold carry your soul away
[01:22.33] This was our brother
[01:24.16] This was our son
[01:27.85] This shepherd young and mild
[01:30.55] This unassuming one
[01:33.20] We all gasp this can't happen here
[01:38.76] We're all much too civilized
[01:41.50] Where can these monsters hide
[01:44.29] But they are knocking on our front door
[01:46.96] They're rocking in our cradles
[01:49.78] They're preaching in our churches
[01:52.47] And eating at our tables
[02:36.42] I search my soul
[02:39.12] My heart and in my mind
[02:41.07] To try and find forgiveness
[02:47.36] This is someone child
[02:49.24] With pain unreconciled
[02:51.96] Filled up with father's hate
[02:54.61] Mother's neglect
[02:57.46] I can forgive But I will not forget
[03:09.28] Scarecrow crying
[03:14.76] Waiting to die wondering why
[03:20.25] Scarecrow trying
[03:26.63] Rising above all in the name of love
[03:44.84]
