Oh, dark history
I feel it in the air
It echoes through the trees
It's no mystery
The blood stains on your river banks
The bones beneath your streets
New world majesty
Open plains and fields of grain
We'll take 'em as we please
Holy destiny
We shot our guns and watched them run
From sea to shining sea
God forgive us
For the sins of our fathers
God forgive us
For the sins of our mothers
God please give us
Peace with our sisters
And peace with our brothers
Oh, society
Built on the backs of our fellow man
But no one wants to see
This disparity
When the life we want will cost someone
A nightmare for our dreams
Bind the wounds that tie us to our past mistakes
Heal the lines creating sides, dividing us in hate
Give us ears to hear and eyes to see the heartbreak
Cause hearts break, everyday
A heart breaks, every day

Oh, dark history
I feel it in the air
It echoes through the trees
It's no mystery
The blood stains on your river banks
The bones beneath your streets
New world majesty
Open plains and fields of grain
We'll take 'em as we please
Holy destiny
We shot our guns and watched them run
From sea to shining sea
God forgive us
For the sins of our fathers
God forgive us
For the sins of our mothers
God please give us
Peace with our sisters
And peace with our brothers
Oh, society
Built on the backs of our fellow man
But no one wants to see
This disparity
When the life we want will cost someone
A nightmare for our dreams
Bind the wounds that tie us to our past mistakes
Heal the lines creating sides, dividing us in hate
Give us ears to hear and eyes to see the heartbreak
Cause hearts break, everyday
A heart breaks, every day
I feel it in the air

Bind the wounds that tie us to our past mistakes
Heal the lines creating sides, dividing us in hate
Give us ears to hear and eyes to see the heartbreak
Cause hearts break, everyday
A heart breaks, every day
