John Oates - Love In A Dangerous Time lyrics

In the heart of our country There's a k**er without a gun We're afraid to be no longer free To trust a loving one So I say a prayer for you In the heart of the darkness There's a k**er without a name Nowhere to hide No mountain side The city's all the same So please say a prayer for me Oh listen people Out of the dark silence How in the world will we survive Love in a dangerous time In the heart of our children Where the simple things are true There's so much to learn When the world has turned Turning on you Open eyes show us what to do Fight our way through open doors Blind to what we see before us Fools who make the rules Commit the crimes, Iet's lay it on the line Out of the dark silence How in the world will we survive Love in a dangerous time In the heart of the darkness In the heart of the country In the heart of our lovers In the heart of the children Listen people We can play it cool or play it wise When life is on the line
