lyrics

Thoughts and Prayers
© Martin Praetorius

I've a bitter taste
In my mouth
It might originate from
Thinking out loud
What I say
Is what I mean
Hope I don't leave much room
For misinterpretation

Look at this place
From up above
Could you imagine it
Free from peace and love
Now look again
From within
It is foul and false and
Full of deadly sin

There's war in every corner
And it's eye for an eye
And the language on all sides
Remains the same
And we are staring at the scene
As if it was a movie screen
But somewhere someone will leave
Thoughts and prayers

This world's for some
And for some it's not
It basically depends
On how much money you've got
And if you're white
It seems you're better off
For the rest of us
It's already getting rough

They kill the love
And they spew hatred
I wonder, will we find the time
To rise against this
If revolution
Is not now
Tell me, how're we gonna turn this
Tell me how
This constant strain
Of greed and grudge
And rivalry, you be the judge
Is it coiling in our DNA?
And we are staring at the scene
As if it was a movie screen

Meanwhile
The ice is melting
And the water's rising
And the desert's growing
The planet's burning, burning,
And we have thoughts
Thoughts and prayers
Thoughts and prayers
Thoughts and prayers
Thoughts and prayers

The curtain falls
The clock strikes one
It's long after we had time
To get things done
And from the ashes
And the dirt
There's no rising this time
We will all get hurt...
