Wartime Prayers - Paul Simon[00:00:01]

Prayers offered in times of peace[00:00:21]

Are silent conversations[00:00:27]

Appeals for love or love's release[00:00:32]

In private invocations[00:00:42]

But all that is changed now[00:00:48]

Gone like a memory from the day before the fires[00:00:55]

People hungry for the voice of God[00:01:05]

Hear lunatics and liars[00:01:10]

Wartime prayers[00:01:18]

Wartime prayers[00:01:20]

In every language spoken[00:01:24]

For every family scattered and broken[00:01:30]

Because you cannot walk with the holy[00:01:53]

If you're just a halfway decent man[00:01:57]

I don't pretend that I'm a mastermind[00:02:00]

With a genius marketing plan[00:02:04]

I'm trying to tap into some wisdom[00:02:07]

Even a little drop will do[00:02:11]

I want to rid my heart of envy[00:02:14]

And cleanse my soul of rage before I'm through[00:02:18]

Times are hard it's a hard time[00:02:31]

But everybody knows[00:02:35]

All about hard times the thing is[00:02:36]

What are you gonna do[00:02:41]

Well you cry and try to muscle through[00:02:44]

And try to rearrange your stuff[00:02:54]

But when the wounds are deep enough[00:02:58]

And it's all that we can bear[00:03:02]

We wrap ourselves in prayer[00:03:06]

Because you cannot walk with the holy[00:03:20]

If you're just a halfway decent man[00:03:23]

I don't pretend that I'm a mastermind[00:03:27]

With a genius marketing plan[00:03:31]

I'm trying to tap into some wisdom[00:03:34]

Even a little drop will do[00:03:38]

I want to rid my heart of envy[00:03:41]

And cleanse my soul of rage before I'm through[00:03:46]

A mother murmurs in twilight sleep[00:03:58]

And draws her babies closer[00:04:05]

With hush a byes for sleepy eyes[00:04:12]

And kisses on the shoulder[00:04:19]

To drive away despair[00:04:26]

She says a wartime prayer[00:04:34]
