Praise or Blame - Jeffrey Gaines

All throughout history

You made sure your conscience be clear

But there's 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
