Prince - Cinnamon Girl lyrics

As war drums beat in Babylon Cinnamon girl starts 2 pray Eye've never heard a prayer like this 1 Never b4 that day Tearful words of love 4 people she had never met b4 Asking God 2 grant them mercy in this face of a holy war Cinnamon Girl Cinnamon Girl of mixed heritage Never knew the meaning of color lines 911 turned that all around When she got accused of this crime So began the ma** illusion, war on terror alibi What's the use when the god of confusion keeps on telling the same lie? Cinnamon Girl Don't cry, don't shed no tears 1 night won't make us feel Cause we know how this movie's ending Cinnamon Girl As war drums beat in Babylon And scorch the blood red sky Militants bomb the foreign gun Both sides truly die Cinnamon girl opens the book she knows will settle all the scores Then she prays after the war that there will not b anymore Cinnamon Girl
