Esperanza Spalding - Vague Suspicions lyrics
[Esperanza Spalding - Vague Suspicions lyrics]
On the neon news
They won't be talking about his life
Flowers still unfolding when he had to fly
Toward, toward God
May this war end
Insha'Allah, he knelt to pray
When a dusty troop misjudged
And blew him away strangers
Same God there were faceless numbers
In the headlines we've all read
Drone strike leaves thirteen civilians dead
Hold that thought my God
Maybe our heart is seized with
Passing pity for the death
And vague suspicions creep into your head
Am I part of war? And what is God for?

Hold that thought my God
Maybe our heart is seized with
Passing pity for the death
