《Praise or Blame》歌词

[00:00:00] Praise or Blame - Jeffrey Gaines

[00:00:19] All throughout history

[00:00:24] You made sure your conscience be clear

[00:00:28] But there's two side to every story

[00:00:33] Here's what you don't want us to hear

[00:00:39] That they once had harmony

[00:00:44] And you could not understand

[00:00:48] How they could live so free

[00:00:53] You drove them off of their land

[00:00:58] Then you made laws to serve only you

[00:01:03] And you laughed at their spiritual way

[00:01:07] Are you deserving of praise or blame

[00:01:13] For they'll never be the same

[00:01:17] Are you deserving of praise of blame

[00:01:22] For they'll never be the same

[00:01:28] They once were royalty

[00:01:33] But you could not measure their worth

[00:01:38] Until you sold them like property

[00:01:43] The salt of their sweat fed the earth

[00:01:48] You shipped them away

[00:01:50] They worked your new found land

[00:01:53] You stripped them and gave them new names

[00:01:57] Are you deserving of praise or blame

[00:02:03] For they'll never be the same

[00:02:07] Are you deserving of praise of blame

[00:02:12] For they'll never be the same

[00:02:37] They once had God-given grace

[00:02:42] Truly a gift to behold

[00:02:47] But soon life's light left from their face

[00:02:52] Dark within your household

[00:02:57] You made them take vows

[00:02:59] To serve and obey

[00:03:01] You really must have been afraid

[00:03:05] Are you deserving of praise or blame

[00:03:11] For they'll never be the same

[00:03:15] Are you deserving of praise of blame

[00:03:20] For they'll never be the same
