The Tears of an American

The Tears of an American
...houdini '06...

If someone is killing in my name, is there not blood on my hands
Am I not just as guilty, if I do not take a stand
When just one child dies, does it not stain my soul
Tearing at my being, rending a hole

When an American bomb tears another child apart
As an American, isnt that another piece of my heart
When my God looks down on me
Isnt it a murderer that he will see

When a childs tear falls in another place
Shouldnt it also be staining my face
When a drop of childs blood is shed in pain
Shouldnt it feel as though that blood come from my vein

As an American I truly am shamed
There is no one else, I should be blamed
To fight and die would be the easy way
To live with what weve done, will never go away
