Neil Joseph - Shadows of the Men Lyrics

What are we fighting for
When the world is slipping away?
The shadows of the men
Who have fallen to their knees
Can't you hear their cry?
All you can do is stand by!

Mama! Can you hear me?
I am lost without your love
Please! please! please! forgive me
I didn't mean to walk out the door
How can this be? we need to die for peace...
Why cant we see? we could all live free...

My brothers! here we stand
Taking shelter from one another
I lay down my life for you...
Sometimes it seems
Like all hope is lost in this world that we've been living in
Oh Lord! please stay with me!
