Prayers offered in times of peace are silent conversations
Appeals for love or loves release in private invocations.
But all that is changed now
Gone like a memory from the day before the fires.
People hungry for the voice of God
Hear lunatics and liars
Wartime prayers wartime prayers
In every language spoken
For every family scattered and broken.
Because you cannot walk with the holy
If youre just a halfway decent man.
But I dont pretend that Im a mastermind
With a genious marketing plan.
Im trying to tap into some wisdom
Even a little drop would do.
I want to rid my heart of envy
And cleanse my soul of rage
Before I feel.
Times are hard hard times
But everybody knows all about hard times.
The thing is what are you gonna do?
Will you cry?
And try to muscle through?
And try to rearrange your stuff?
But when the wounds are deep enough
And its all that we can bear
We wrap ourselves in prayer.
Because you cannot walk with the holy
If youre just a halfway decent man.
But I dont pretend that Im a mastermind
With a genious marketing plan.
Im trying to tap into some wisdom
Even a little drop would do.
I want to rid my heart of envy
And cleanse my soul of rage
Before Im through.
A mother murmurs in twilight sleep
And draws her babies closer.
With hush-a-bies for sleepy eyes
And kisses on the shoulder.
To drive away despair
She sends a wartime prayer.
Appeals for love or loves release in private invocations.
But all that is changed now
Gone like a memory from the day before the fires.
People hungry for the voice of God
Hear lunatics and liars
Wartime prayers wartime prayers
In every language spoken
For every family scattered and broken.
Because you cannot walk with the holy
If youre just a halfway decent man.
But I dont pretend that Im a mastermind
With a genious marketing plan.
Im trying to tap into some wisdom
Even a little drop would do.
I want to rid my heart of envy
And cleanse my soul of rage
Before I feel.
Times are hard hard times
But everybody knows all about hard times.
The thing is what are you gonna do?
Will you cry?
And try to muscle through?
And try to rearrange your stuff?
But when the wounds are deep enough
And its all that we can bear
We wrap ourselves in prayer.
Because you cannot walk with the holy
If youre just a halfway decent man.
But I dont pretend that Im a mastermind
With a genious marketing plan.
Im trying to tap into some wisdom
Even a little drop would do.
I want to rid my heart of envy
And cleanse my soul of rage
Before Im through.
A mother murmurs in twilight sleep
And draws her babies closer.
With hush-a-bies for sleepy eyes
And kisses on the shoulder.
To drive away despair
She sends a wartime prayer.
