Nikka Costa - Bullets In The Sky lyrics

When your faith lights the canon When your pride is pulling triggers And nobody is left standing Tell me where's the God in that You can say the war is over Try and sell that to a mother Sent away her heart and got back a stone Now it's quieter than she's ever known Takes one second to breathe in and out One decision to believe or doubt One heart beating echoes in a crowd Cryin' for change and only tears get out Mam's cryin' bullets in the sky Raining, raining tears on each side Fight for love don't love the fight Mama's cryin' bullets in the sky Now the fewer and the braver Hope and pray their faith won't waiver Then fate taps them on the shoulder A blink of an eye The path of fear we're being led to tread Is paved with wasted life
