Scarecrow

Scarecrow - Faded Grey

A child beaten to death because he didn't fit

Into their mold of what's right and wrong

Ostracized because he chose to live free of lies

Ignorance took his life

Left out in the cold to die

And we wonder why

People hide themselves away

From a world that doesn't understand

This world doesn't understand

Poisoned minds

Judged him when he stepped out from behind

The safety of the closet door

Evil eyes

Lynched him a thousand times before he died

Fear wrapped the noose around his neck

When will we see that true love holds validity

No matter who's involved

The hatred we project

Toward those who may be different

Must meet an end

Left out in the cold to die

And we wonder why

People hide themselves away

From a world that doesn't understand

This world doesn't understand

What can we say for ourselves

When we stand by with idle minds

And let hatred run it's course
