lyrics

Who will take the blame if the sun doesn't rise
the clouds are lonely without nothing to hide

Who will take the blame if the cherry tree doesn't blossom
when it's time for spring..

Who will take the blame if the fish are looking for a new home
in colder water far from the heat

I have seen the ocean in your heart, there were fish, there were cherry trees... We all cared more!

Who will take the blame if the music doesn't play
the room is quiet and there's nothing left to say

Who will take the blame when it's time to go home
it's cold outside and there's no one by your side

Who will take the blame if we all go home
to watch our screens and don't hear our friend's screams

I have seen the ocean in your heart, there were fish, there were cherry trees... We all cared more!

Who will take the blame if the trees are all gone
to a better planet, where their roots aren't torn

Who will take the blame when it's time to go to bed
and no stories to read are left

Who will take the blame if the poet lost his pen
and this song doesn't have an end

…We all take the blame, we all take the blame
we all must give a hand to care for this land.

Who will take the blame? Who will take the blame?
Who will take the blame? Who will take the blame?
