Pray

Story Behind The Song

I wrote this song about the first bush administration's war but it applies to Jr. just as well, if not more so. Yes, I do support our troops, no I don't believe they belong there. Let's get our shit together before we tell the world how to run their countries.

Lyrics

PRAY
LYRICS AND MUSIC: TOM WRIGHT
KEY: Fmin.
CHORUS STILL WE DREAM ; DREAM OF A PROMISED LAND
AND WE HOPE; HOPE IS A TROUBLED PLAN
WE HAVE FAITH; FAITH FOR THE SAKE OF MAN
AND WE PRAY; PRAY GOD WILL UNDERSTAND

VERSE WERE ARE ALL THE POLITICIANS?
DO WE STILL HAVE VOICES HERE?
WATCH THEM STRIVE TO FORM A NATION
BUILT UPON OUR CHILDRENS TEARS
BUILT UPON OUR CHILDRENS TEARS

?A MILLION LOST THEIR SMILING FACES?,
THE NEWSMAN SAID WITH SWOLLEN EYES
?CONGRESS SWORE TO END STARVATION?
BUT THAT?S NOT WHERE THE MONEY LIES

VERSE YOU MAY ASK FOR RESTITUTION
YOU MAY SEEK YOUR PEACE OF MIND
THEY MAKE CONSTANT RESOLUTIONS
WE JUST LOOK FOR REASONS WHY

?A MILLION LOST THEIR SMILING FACES?,
THE NEWSMAN SAID WITH SWOLLEN EYES
?WAR BROKE OUT IN 20 NATIONS...
THE POOR MUST WAIT; THE HUNGRY CRY...?
