??, dream of
falling down, falling far
so we're different and we're blinded
but nothing's ?? know where to find it

Oh you've got a problem up there, but he's ??
I'll take my shoulders brother and I'll mail them over to you
I'll be there for shortly,
I'll be protecting you
and blowing up, look, blowing up the city
around (?) you to play

you may find your answer,
you may find your religion but I know
I prayed no answer
Oh you may find your love
and you may find your conviction but I know
I heard no answer
I'm on my knees, I pray to God
I beg you hear me,
I've got a sob story, sob
oh just a girl, a little one
rotting with cancer inside her lungs
oh and God ??
I pray to you, that you will heal her,
you'll turn her through
14 and ??
Emily is gone
the girl is over and your deed is done

up from the ashes of men's hatred
comes soul coughing, clearing their wasted lungs
up from the ashes of men's despise
come souls coughing, keeping alive the hope and dreams
up from the ashes of men's ??
comes all the ?? all leaves this way
up from the ashes of men's hope
comes God's prayers answered
I don't know, I don't know

pray you find a way to hear me
or are you deaf, Lord?
pray to find the sense to see you
or are you blind, God?
pray you'll say the word and she'll be saved
or are you dumb, God?
what could it be?
what could it be God?
well could it be sure plays a mean pinball?

well deed is done
the deed is done
the deed is done
the deed is done

and the girl is gone
