In the heart of our country

There's a killer without a gun

We're afraid to be no longer free

To trust a loving one

So I say a prayer for you


In the heart of the darkness

There's a killer without a name

Nowhere to hide

No mountain side...

The city's all the same

So please say a prayer for me


Oh listen people...


Out of the dark silence

How in the world will we survive

Love in a dangerous time


In the heart of our children

Where the simple things are true

There's so much to learn

When the world has turned

Turning on you

Open eyes show us what to do


Fight our way through open doors

Blind to what we see before us

Fools who make the rules

Commit the crimes...Iet's lay it on the line


Out of the dark silence

How in the world will we survive

Love in a dangerous time


In the heart of the darkness

In the heart of the country

In the heart of our lovers

In the heart of the children


Listen people...

We can play it cool or play it wise

When life is on the line
