Lyrics
[Verse1]
So can we please take some time to pray?
For the soldiers in Iraq who ain't coming home today.
And the wives back home whose husband's in danger,
The children of these men who only know them as strangers.
Can you serve me up some champagne?
For the people who see hate as death's strongest campaign.
And who say they keep the peace while packing the pistol,
They don't think they just shoot, hear that bullet whistle.
Can't you hear them sirens calling?
EMS up and down the block another street soldier's fallen.
Someone call the minister, we need that Holy Water,
Forget the minister I'll do it myself "Holy Father".
Can't you take some time to hear my prayer?
I need you right now whether you are or aren't there.
Please God I need someone to listen to me,
Why couldn't you make them miss when they shot him with the uzi?
[Chorus]
As Day falls, and Night calls,
For the rest of our lives we'll miss y'all,
And even though life must go on,
We still mourn while wishing y'all'd walk.
[Verse2]
Will someone please help the child who's at home,
Momma's on the street and daddy's gone he's living all alone.
He's the one that you see not having a bright future,
Cuz Momma gon' die and they won't find the shooter.
So can we please pour out a bottle?
For the one's living in the fast lane and died at full throttle.
The same one's who tried so hard to get somewhere,
Just to die for no reason whenever they get there.
Can we please have a prayer for the killers?
Robbers, rapists, convicted felons and drug dealers,
They the one's who need it most, they crying inside,
For a chance to have a taste of the second life...
[Chorus]
So as Day falls, and Night calls,
For the rest of our lives we'll miss y'all,
And even thought life must go on,
We still mourn while wishing y'all'd walk.
