Lyrics
ch
These lines on my face
these lines on my face
they put me in my place
these lines on my face
on my journey through this life
i have seen what it takes to be a man
to slay a brother or his wife
to speak of war and conquere land.
so much money gives us might
still, we cannot give and save the starving
our leaders argue and they fight
let them know when life is starting
ch
a living ocean screams in vain
a thick black cloud makes itself at home
gods canopy becomes a lane
an orphaned creature is all alone.
while we're breathing in this air
each passing day our earth is changing
our cities fold we shake in fear
without further ado lets start re-arranging
ch
i'm ashamed to be a man
i'm not part of this i never raised my hand.
mother earth, yes, i'm so sorry.
please understand, i apologize on behalf of all of man
