And I opened up
When the sheriff came
In my father's name
And I took the fall
For my brothers' shame
Would you do the same?
When I see red
I put a handgun
Under my pillow
When I see blue
I put a blanket
Over my window
Do-do do do-do do-do
Do-do-do do-do-do
Do-do do do-do do-do
Do-do-do do-do-do
Do-do do do-do do-do
Do-do-do do-do-do-do
Please show me the way to help
Show me the way to love you
For real
The smokers came
Through the sugar cane
With the burning cross
You'll forget me not
When we wipe away
All the holy pain
When I see red
I feel a power
For no reason
When I see blue
I think of nothing
That lasts forever
Do-do do do-do do-do
Do-do-do do-do-do-do
Do-do do do-do do-do
Do-do-do do-do-do-do
Do-do do do-do do-do
Do-do-do do-do-do-do
Please show me the way to help
Show me the way to love you
For real
Show me now (please show me the way to help)
'Cause I'm still learning
It's all or nothing
Show me the way to love you for real
