Where Are They Now

They said they would give all they had to give

They offered their hand with the will to live

The word of the white man

Words they would never understand

It wouldn't take long 'til they realized

The promise of peace was about to die

They'd fight for their honor

They'd fight for the freedom of the land

And over and over

I've asked myself what's going on

We can't hide in silence for too long

So tell me

(Where are they now) why should it be this way

(Where are they now) I only feel the shame

(Where are they now) their time will come again

We can't walk away

I just don't know why we've never learned

We live with the gun as our only friend

The word of the white man

Words that will always be the same

And over and over

I've asked myself what's going on

We can't hide in silence for too long

So tell me

(Where are they now) why should it be this way

(Where are they now) I only feel the shame

(Where are they now) their time will come again

We can't walk away

(Where are they now) the story's still the same

(Where are they now) I only feel the shame

(Where are they now) their time will come again

(Where are they now)

(Where are they now) why should it be this way

(Where are they now) I only feel the shame

(Where are they now) their time will come again

We can't walk away

(Where are they now) the story's still the same

(Where are they now) I only feel the shame

(Where are they now) their time will come again

(Where are they now)

(Where are they now)

I only feel the shame

Their time will come again
