Blame the Singer, Not the Song

from Ashes and Embers by Bill White

/

lyrics

So many people that I know
Are living in the past
We travel through a passing dram
Its not supposed to last
The world changes completely
With every century
So why dont you all just calm down
Step back and let it be

chorus
The days are short but life goes on
If you think Ive got it wrong
Take a look at the evening sky
blame the singer, not the song

We grew up in a racist world
And struggle with it yet
Not one of us is innocent
We are all caught in its net
Blinded by our cowardice
somehow our kids are brave
Like the children of the promised land
Who never knew they once were slaves

Repeat chorus

We made a little progress
But in the end we failed
And left the road not taken
to walk the paper trail
Everything we know and love
Passes into history
So let the children rise and thrive
Step back and let it be

Repeat chorus
