Bullets In The Sky Lyrics - Pebble To A Pearl - Nikka Costa

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
