Praise Or Blame Lyrics

Jeffrey Gaines – Praise Or Blame Lyrics

from album: Galore (1998)
All throughout history
You made sure your conscience be clear
But there are two side to every story
Here's what you don't want us to hear
That they once had harmony
And you could not understand
How they could live so free
You drove them off of their land
Then you made laws to serve only you
And you laughed at their spiritual way
Are you deserving of praise or blame
For they'll never be the same
Are you deserving of praise of blame
For they'll never be the same
They once were royalty
But you could not measure their worth
Until you sold them like property
The salt of their sweat fed the earth
You shipped them away
They worked your new found land
You stripped them and gave them new names
Are you deserving of praise or blame
For they'll never be the same
Are you deserving of praise of blame
For they'll never be the same
They once had God-given grace
Truly a gift to behold
But soon life's light left from their face
Dark within your household
You made them take vows
To serve and obey
You really must have been afraid
Are you deserving of praise or blame
For they'll never be the same
Are you deserving of praise of blame
For they'll never be the same
