I know  you are weary now

You’ve cried so many tears

Your body aches all over

Your mind is gripped with fear

But still you car--ry on

You  car--ry on

It wasn’t meant to be this way

So much suffering and pa--in

You felt so helpless with guilt and shame

But still you car--ry on

You  car--ry on

Chorus

I wanna thank  you For everything you do

 thank you for the lives you help pull on through

and ev'ry minute you gave so much of you, thank you thank you, thank you

We thank you for your sacrifice thank you for help savin lives

We thank you for everything you do

I know it's not enough but ev'ry word is true...We thank you

We thank you

I'm not sure about the idea of feeling shame. I can get the guilt thing - "If only I could have done more..." but I don't think that translates to shame. How about something like this?

So much suffering and so much pain

You wonder if it’s all in vain

You feel so helpless but you try again

or use the word blame or gain or carrying the stains( as in blood on ya of each one)
