Watch the Children Pray |
In a darkened graveyard glows a light |
I see it shine there every night |
I know somewhere there’s a hidden door |
There’s an answer here we must explore |
No, I’ll not submit to reason |
I’ll sit and watch the seasons change |
We watch the children pray |
Save us God today |
Come whatever may |
We hold our fate and make the choice |
But we’ll not listen to that still small voice |
Are we just crazy, out of our minds? |
Wish this were someplace, another time |
We watch the children pray |
Save us God today |
Come whatever may |
And I know we’re going |
So far away from this wretched life we lead |
With open arms meet catastrophe |
In the valley of the damned we’ll be |
We watch the children pray |
Save us God today |
Come whatever may |
And now to life we say goodbye |
I know the when but not the why |
Our nation’s blood spills on the ground |
Our lives go out without a sound |
