[00:00.00]	作词 : Simon
[00:20.77]	Prayers offered in times of peace are silent conversations,
[00:32.46]	Appeals for love or love's release
[00:41.55]	In private invocations
[00:48.42]	But all that is changed now,
[00:55.25]	Gone like a memory from the day before the fires.
[01:03.70]	People hungry for the voice of God
[01:10.31]	Hear lunatics and liars
[01:18.02]	Wartime prayers, wartime prayers
[01:24.93]	In every language spoken,
[01:30.42]	For every family scattered and broken.
[01:53.25]	Because you cannot walk with the holy,
[01:56.34]	If you're just a halfway decent man.
[01:59.27]	I don't pretend that I'm a mastermind
[02:04.09]	With a genius marketing plan.
[02:07.38]	I'm trying to tap into some wisdom,
[02:10.72]	Even a little drop will do.
[02:14.80]	I want to rid my heart of envy
[02:19.09]	And cleanse my soul of rage
[02:22.31]	Before I'm through.
[02:30.30]	Times are hard, it's a hard time
[02:34.32]	But everybody knows all about hard times.
[02:39.76]	The thing is, what are you gonna do?
[02:43.90]	Well, you cry and try to muscle through
[02:54.20]	Try to rearrange your stuff
[02:57.91]	But when the wounds are deep enough,
[03:02.21]	It's all that we can bear,
[03:06.65]	We wrap ourselves in prayer.
[03:20.19]	Because you cannot walk with the holy,
[03:23.44]	If you're just a halfway decent man.
[03:26.52]	I don't pretend that I'm a mastermind
[03:31.29]	With a genius marketing plan.
[03:34.33]	I'm trying to tap into some wisdom,
[03:37.98]	Even a little drop will do.
[03:42.03]	I want to rid my heart of envy
[03:46.03]	And cleanse my soul of rage
[03:49.43]	Before I'm through.
[03:58.80]	A mother murmurs in twilight sleep
[04:04.76]	And draws her babies closer.
[04:12.29]	With hush-a-byes for sleepy eyes,
[04:19.24]	And kisses on the shoulder.
[04:26.61]	To drive away despair
[04:33.83]	She says a wartime prayer.
