When your faith lights the cannon when you pride is pulling
Trigger, When nobody is left standing, tell me where's the
God in that
You can say the war is over, try and tell that to a mother
Sent away her heart, 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, crying for change and only tears get out
Mama's crying bullets in the sky
Pain and rain and tears fall on each side
Fight for love don't love for fight
Mama's crying bullets in the sky
Now the fewer and the braver
Hope and pray their faith won't waver
Then fate taps them on the shoulder, bling of an eye
The path of fear will be laid to tread. It's paved with wasting lies
Mama's crying bullets in the sky
Pain and rain and tears fall on each side
Fight for love, don't love for fight. Mama's crying bullets in the sky
