A Prayer For England Lyrics - Massive Attack

1 In the name of and by the power of the holy spirit

2 May we invoke your intercession for the children of England

3 Some of whom I have seen, murder so obscene

4 Some of whom have been taken

5 Let not another child be slain

6 Let not another search be made in vain

7 Jah, forgive us for forgetting

8 And Jah, help us, we need more loving

9 You see the teachers are representing you

10 So badly that not many can see you

11 Let not another child be slain

12 Let not another search be made in vain

13 Jah, 'cause the ones whose beliefs kill children to

14 Feel the love of you and be healed

15 And may we all cry, too, for representing you

16 So badly, so badly

17 Jah, forgive us for forgetting

18 Oh, Jah, help us to be forgiving

19 The teachers are representing you

20 So badly that not many can see you

21 Let not another search be made in vain

22 Let not another child be slain
