In the heart of the country
there's a killer without a gun
we're afraid to be no longer free
to trust and love in one
so i gotta say
say a prayer for you

in the heart of the darkness
there's a killer without a name
nowhere to hide, no mountainside
cities all the same
so please oh, please
say a prayer , prayer for me

(chorus)
out of the dark and silence
how in the world will we survive
love in a dangerous time
out of the fear and madness
how in the world will we survive
love in a dangerous time

in the heart of the children
where the simple things are true
so much to learn
when the world is turned
turning in on you
open eyes
show us what to do
what to do
-repeat chorus-

fight our way through open doors
blind to what we see before us
fools who make the rules
commit the crimes
that lay it on the line
