Bullets in the Sky

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
