Afraid to Follow

I see white lights
Slipping through cold eyes
See how they’ve all replaced
Feelings with disgrace
Oh, no
They followed
Am I to bear the blame?

I cannot say I did not hear
I heard, I heard, I heard them
Marching cross the hills to God knows where
Never again will their faces be seen here

They all have long past gone
But I am the one who stayed
(Oh my God, I stayed)
‘Cause I’ve seen, and I know
Oh, I know they won’t come home

I am the one who stayed
And I know they won’t come home
I am the one who stayed
And I know they won’t come home
I am the one who stayed
And I know they won’t come home
I am the one who stayed
And I know they won’t come home
I’ve seen, and I know
I know they won’t come home

I can hear their distant voices
Singing low beyond the hill
Had I been led to different choices
Could I have ended it myself?

I can hear their distant voices
Singing low beyond the hill
Had I been led to different choices
Could I have ended it myself?
