I saw a fire in the distance
I smelled sulphur in the air
And a cacaphony of voices that had offered up resistance
Were abandoned, left stranded
I heard vandals running through the garden
I watched them carry off the sun
And a solitary stranger, came to make his bargain with a dollar bill
And a smoking gun
So pray for the child who drinks this water
Pray for the child who breathes this air
Pray for the life that ripples through your sons and daughters
And pray they live by more than just a prayer
More than just a prayer
A thousand generations of this mother
A thousand generations of this sky
Will sleep beneath these towers, and dream within the shadow of this dragons tail
And this dragons lies
So pray for the child who drinks this water
Pray for the child who breathes this air
Pray for the life that ripples through your sons and daughters
And pray they live by more than just a prayer
More than just a prayer
