Crimes of the Witness Songtext
von Maia Sharp

You pray a prayer and pledge allegiance
Read your USA Today
Skim the wars and hungry faces
Decide the world has lost its way

You swear that you′re helpless

Afraid of trying your compassion
Nothing ventured, nothing lost
Always keeping to the sidelines
As if they're never to be crossed

You swear that you′re helpless

Safe in the shadows
Watch from a distance
Finally committing
Crimes of the witness


You must have overheard her cryjng
Felt a sorrow in the air
But you kept yourself believing
That it was none of your affair

You swear that you're helpless

Safe in the shadows
Watch from a distance
Finally committing
Crimes of the witness

(Sax solo)

Safe in the shadows
Watch from a distance
Finally committing
Crimes of the witness

Safe in the shadows
Judge from a distance
Finally committing
Crimes of the witness
