Spoken:
Where is this world without hatred, fear or greed
Where we don't judge others by their color or their beliefs
In the last days of the war, was there any hope at all
And in the last days of the wall, was there any remorse at all
They took their wives, took their child and led them all away
Took their pride, took their lives until nothing else remained
They walked down aisles single file marked by numbers not by names
Put on trial for their lifestyle only led them to the grave
And when we think things have changed, take a look at the world today
There's still scars there's still pain from the embers of yesterday
Beaten and battered and withered but still marching on are the masses
Who were killed by misguided leaders and foes
Victims of senseless crimes beyond realms of the innocent mind
Some surving the hell at what cost
Chorus:
How can we go on this way, judging by colors, killing by race
Have we no guilt, have we no shame, bringing up children where prejudice reigns
How many years have echoed, fear that another disciple
Will fall from the alter and reign terror
Lessons for all mankind to live far beyond enemy lines
Years of betrayal have made us blind
Chorus:
How can we go on this way, judging by colors, killing by race
Have we no guilt, have we no shame, words whispered in silence still bring pain
Bridge:
Your color is power, one stands for another
Your scars of denial will break the walls
Where hide, where they hide
Your scars of denial is where prejudice reigns, reigns
SOLO
Chorus:
How can we go on this way, judging by colors, killing by race
Have we no guilt, have we no shame, bringing up children where prejudice reigns
How can we go on this way, judging by colors, still killing by race
Have we no guilt, have we no shame, bringing up children where prejudice reigns
