Scarecrow

There you stand, arms out wide

Like forbidden fruit to the squinting eye

Gather us together under your almighty wings

Bruise the head and see what tomorrow brings

Scarecrow, all alone

Scarecrow, bring your children home

Hand to the plough, forgiving multitudes

Give them compassion, why are they afraid of you?

Proud at the altar, vain before the throne

If you are blameless then throw the stone

Scarecrow, all alone

Scarecrow, bring your children home

Betrayed by a friend, hung out to dry

Alone in the end, stretched across the sky

Eclipse the sun, they know not what they do

They say "If God is love why would He be so cruel?"

Scarecrow, all alone

Scarecrow, bring your children home

Scarecrow, all alone

Scarecrow, bring your children home

Scarecrow, all alone
