Blame It on the Children Lyrics

Alone in the dark

Aching in your emptiness

Your memory denies it

With the pain and shame still echoing

Someone you trusted

Someone you used to look up to

Defiled you

Now all you have left is bitterness

No one to lean on

No one to turn to

Hated from now on

Blame it on the children

Ashamed and beaten

Try to run away but you got caught

Alone now

But you can't escape those stinging words

Too scared to speak out

Too scared to tell them all the truth

Besides they've

Never believed you before

No one to lean on

No one to turn to

Hated from now on

Blame it on the children

Don't you think it's sad

When an entire generation

Is crying out to God and they

Don't know his name

Loneliness and pain

When you need love and compassion

I'll show you the way

Can you see the light

You can come inside

But you gotta change

Blame it on the children
