Prince - Cinnamon Girl
As war drums beat in Babylon
Cinnamon girl starts 2 pray
I'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 mass 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
As war drums beat in Babylon
And scorch the blood red sky
Militants bomb the foreign gun
Both sides children 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
