Prince — Cinnamon Girl

[Verse 1] As war drums beat in Babylon Cinnamon Girl starts to pray I never heard a prayer like this one Never before that day [Pre-Chorus] Tearful words of love for people she had never met before Asking God to grant them mercy in this face of a holy war [Chorus] Cinnamon Girl Cinnamon Girl [Verse 2] Cinnamon Girl of mixed heritage Never knew the meaning of color lines 9-1-1 turned that all around When she got accused of this crime [Pre-Chorus] So began the mass illusion, war on terror alibi What's the use when the God of Confusion keeps on telling the same lie? [Chorus] Cinnamon Girl Cinnamon Girl [Bridge] Don't cry, don't shed no tears One night won't make us feel 'Cause we know how this movie's ending [Chorus] Cinnamon Girl Cinnamon Girl [Verse 3] As war drums beat in Babylon And scorch the blood red sky Militants bomb the foreign gun Both side's children die [Pre-Chorus] Cinnamon Girl opens the book she knows will settle all the scores Then she prays after the war that there will not be any more [Chorus] Cinnamon Girl Cinnamon Girl Cinnamon Girl Don't worry, baby, it's gonna be alright Cinnamon Girl
