He prayed to Jesus, she prayed to Allah
They loved each other, it was forever
They met in high school, it was so easy
Now there was shelling, it got so crazy
They knew that somehow
He’d answer their prayers tonight
They’d go to movies, she cried at E.T.
They’d go out dancing, he loved his Iggy
Then there was no food, there was no power
Now there was no hope, hour to hour
Their love was outcast
He’d answer their prayers tonight
In your arms he’d say to her
He would always be
She would say the war could not
Ever change the world for you and me, my sweet
We’ll go to Belgrade, he said don’t worry
The war was growing like grandfather’s stories
She packed her diary, her golden bracelet
The soldiers told them they’d have safe passage
She wrote a letter
They were in His hands tonight
In your arms he’d say to her
He would always be
She would say the war could not
Ever change the world for you and me, my sweet
She hugged her parents, he held her hand tight
Down to the river, the bridge was in sight
He fell behind her, now she was bleeding
And as she sinks down, she crawls up to him
They die embracing
Around the world tonight
He prayed to Jesus, she prayed to Allah
They loved each other, it was forever
The gunman was blessed
His prayers were answered tonight
They loved each other, it was forever
They met in high school, it was so easy
Now there was shelling, it got so crazy
They knew that somehow
He’d answer their prayers tonight
They’d go to movies, she cried at E.T.
They’d go out dancing, he loved his Iggy
Then there was no food, there was no power
Now there was no hope, hour to hour
Their love was outcast
He’d answer their prayers tonight
In your arms he’d say to her
He would always be
She would say the war could not
Ever change the world for you and me, my sweet
We’ll go to Belgrade, he said don’t worry
The war was growing like grandfather’s stories
She packed her diary, her golden bracelet
The soldiers told them they’d have safe passage
She wrote a letter
They were in His hands tonight
In your arms he’d say to her
He would always be
She would say the war could not
Ever change the world for you and me, my sweet
She hugged her parents, he held her hand tight
