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 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 you 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 Please show me the way to help Show me the way to love you For real Show me now Cause I'm still learning It's all or nothing Show me the way to love you for real
