Nikka Costa - Bullets in the Sky

Lyrics

When your faith lights the canon

When your pride is pulling triggers

And nobody is left standing

Tell me where's the God in that

You can say the war is over

Try and sell that to a mother

Sent away her heart and got back a stone

Now it's quieter than she's ever known

Takes one second to breathe in and out

One decision to believe or doubt

One heart beating echoes in a crowd

Cryin' for change and only tears get out

Mam's cryin' bullets in the sky

Raining, raining tears on each side

Fight for love don't love the fight

Mama's cryin' bullets in the sky

Now the fewer and the braver

Hope and pray their faith won't waiver

Then fate taps them on the shoulder

A blink of an eye

The path of fear we're being led to tread

Is paved with wasted life
