Richard Melvin Brown - Amber Waves of Shame Lyrics

I wonder what our lord would say 'bout what's going on today
How we preach to love thy neighbor then kill each other every day
We should be stewards of this earth we're on 'cause we're only passing through
But each day we do more damage till there's no more damage left to do

And I wonder when we'll make a change I wonder if that day will come
And I wonder if we've gone too far I wonder if we're really done
So I wake up every morning to these amber waves of shame
And I wonder what we're doing here why we think it's just a game

You know I wonder what our lord would say about what's going on today
How we preach to love thy neighbor then kill each other every day
We should be stewards of this earth we're on 'cause we're only passing through
But you each day we do more damage till there's no more damage left to do

And I wonder when we'll make a change I wonder if that day will come
And I wonder if we've gone too far I wonder if we're really done
So I wake up every morning to these amber waves of shame
And I wonder what we're doing here why we think it's just a game

So I go to bed each evening in the twilight's last gleaming
And I wake up the next morning as the world around us screams

Yeah I wake up every morning to these amber waves of shame
