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
