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...let'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
