As war drums beat in BabylonCinnamon Girl starts 2 prayEye never heard a prayer like this oneNever b4 that dayTearful words of love 4 peopleShe had never met b4Asking God 2 grant them mercyIn this face of a holy warCinnamon GirlCinnamon GirlCinnamon Girl of mixed heritageNever knew the meaning of color lines9/11 turned that all aroundWhen she got accused of this crimeSo began the mass illusionWar on terror alibiWhat’s the use when the god of confusionKeeps on telling the same lie?Cinnamon GirlCinnamon GirlDon’t cry, don’t shed no tearsOne lie won’t make us feel'Cause we know howThis movie’s endingCinnamon GirlAs war drums beat in BabylonAnd scorch the blood red skyMilitants bomb the 4eign gunsBoth sides - children dieCinnamon girl opens the bookShe knows will settle all the scoresThen she prays: after the warThat there will not b anymoreCinnamon GirlCinnamon GirlCinnamon GirlCinnamon Girl
