Crosses are Burning

lyrics to "Crosses are Burning" from the album "Change of Heart"

Crosses are burning
the flag is in shreds
our fathers will guide us
with the strike of their hands

Our mothers will teach us
to hate other kinds
the world is so twisted
drive you out of your mind

The fields are on fire
the fighting in vain
but fields of white powder
eternally reign

The children run freely
their guns in their hands
who'll be the hunter
if the victim is man?

In the East we are dying
for oil-covered sands
in the West we are killing
merely 'cause we can

Show me the opening
Show me that there is a way we can stop what's begun
Tell me the secret
Tell me that there is a way to undo what's been done

Crosses are burning
there's judgment above
the people are turning
could it be that all we needed all this time was love?

Our babies are crying
while we stare at T.V.
our children are dying
while we fall to our knees

Where is the answer?
please tell me the way
we must hold together
and go day by day

Is is to simple,
to trust one another? We've got to before the next dawn.
Is it so easy,
to love one another? We've got to before it's all gone.
