Prince - Cinnamon Girl lyrics

As war drums beat in Babylon

Cinnamon girl starts 2 pray

Eye'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

Cinnamon Girl

As war drums beat in Babylon

And scorch the blood red sky

Militants bomb the foreign gun

Both sides truly die

Cinnamon girl opens the book she knows will settle all the scores

Then she prays after the war that there will not be anymore

Cinnamon Girl
