We are only shadows on the wall; flowers that decay now, that is all,
All who've come before have faced the frailties we've come so well to know,
In our humanity, how can we look away?
Don't look away,
Look away now, look away,
Don't look away,
Look away now, look away,
Yeah, look who knows your dreams, understands your sorrow, understand the things that we all see,
Don't look away,
Don't look away.
Rites of passage held to the extreme,
Shared atrocities we've all seen,
Innocence of life removed by individuals bent on hate,
Known depravity - How can we look away?
Don't look away,
Look away now, look away,
Don't look away,
Look away now, look away,
Oh, look who knows your dreams, understands the sorrow, understand the things that we all see,
Don't look away,
Don't look away.
We are only shadows on the wall; flowers that decay now, that is all,
All who've come before have faced the frailty we've come so well to know,
Our humanity - how can we look away?
Don't look away,
Look away now, look away,
Don't look away,
Look away now, look away,
Yeah, look who knows your dreams, understands your sorrow, understand the things that we all see,
Don't look away,
Don't look away,
Don't look away,
Don't look away.
