Shadows of Shame
[Verse 1]
In the heart of the night, where the whispers creep,
A murmur of discontent, it runs so deep.
Broken dreams echo through abandoned halls,
While pride pays the price for the rise and the falls.
With stars in the sky and a fire burning low,
We watch as the shadows of shame start to grow.
They gather in circles, casting stones from the dark,
With their eyes full of judgment, they miss the true mark.
[Chorus]
So here’s to the fools whose hearts became cold,
Shaming a land with stories untold.
You point out the flaws, but you don’t see the light,
America weeps under your narrow sight.
Shadows of shame, you’ll never understand,
This land’s got scars, but it’s still our stand.
[Verse 2]
The highways stretch long, with tales of the lost,
Every mile is a story, every bridge has its cost.
Your voices are thunder, but they drown in the rain,
While we sing of our struggles, you just chant out your pain.
With roots in the soil, and hope in our veins,
We push through the trials, yet you bring only chains.
America’s not perfect, but it’s ours to defend,
Not just a name, it’s the soul we commend.
[Chorus]
So here’s to the fools whose hearts became cold,
Shaming a land with stories untold.
You point out the flaws, but you don’t see the light,
America weeps under your narrow sight.
Shadows of shame, you’ll never understand,
This land’s got scars, but it’s still our stand.
[Bridge]
Gather ‘round, children, let me tell you the tale,
Of the heart of a country that refuses to pale.
We rise like the sun, when the darkness is near,
In the land of the brave, we won't live in fear.
Put down your stones, take a look at the skies,
There’s beauty in struggle, don’t let hate be your guise.
[Verse 3]
With every hard season, we learn how to grow,
From the ashes of pride, the wildflowers glow.
So laugh at the faults, if it soothes your pain,
But know there’s a cost when you dance in the rain.
We’ll carry the shame, if you think that you must,
But know in your heart, it’s in love that we trust.
This land, it’s our home, even through every shame,
United we’ll stand, and we won’t be the same.
[Outro]
So step to the side and let the truth unfold,
For the heart of America is worth much more than gold.
We’ll sing through the shadows, we’ll rise from the pain,
And in the end, it’s love that will reign.
In the heart of the night, where the whispers creep,
A murmur of discontent, it runs so deep.
Broken dreams echo through abandoned halls,
While pride pays the price for the rise and the falls.
With stars in the sky and a fire burning low,
We watch as the shadows of shame start to grow.
They gather in circles, casting stones from the dark,
With their eyes full of judgment, they miss the true mark.
[Chorus]
So here’s to the fools whose hearts became cold,
Shaming a land with stories untold.
You point out the flaws, but you don’t see the light,
America weeps under your narrow sight.
Shadows of shame, you’ll never understand,
This land’s got scars, but it’s still our stand.

And in the end, it’s love that will reign.
