There you stand, arms out and wide
Like forbidden fruit to the squinting eyes
Gather us together under your almighty wings
Bruise the head and see what tomorrow brings

Scarecrow, all alone
Scarecrow, bring your children home

Hand to the plow
Forgiving multitudes
Give them compassion
Why are they afraid of you?
Proud at the altar
Vain before the throne
If you are blameless then throw the stone

Scarecrow, all alone
Scarecrow, bring your children home

Betrayed by a friend, hung out to dry
Alone in the end, stretched across the sky
Eclipse the Sun, they know not what they do
They say if God is love
Why would He be so cruel?

Scarecrow, all alone
Scarecrow, bring your children home
Scarecrow, all alone
Scarecrow, bring your children home

Scarecrow, all alone
