A Prayer For England - Massive Attack, Grantley Marshall

In the name of

And by the power of

The holy spirit

May we invoke your

Intercession for

The children of England

Some of whom have seen

Murder so obscene

Some of whom have been taken

Let not another child be slain

Let not another search be made in vain

Jah forgive us

For forgetting

Jah help us

We need more loving

See the teachers

Are representing you

So badly

That not many can see you

Let not another child be slain

Let not another search be made in vain

Jah calls the ones who’s

Beliefs kill children to

Feel the love of you and be healed

And may we all cry too

For representing you

So badly so badly

Jah forgive us

For forgetting

Oh Jah help us

To be forgiving

The teachers are representing you

So badly that not many can see you

Let not another search be made in vain

Let not another child be slain
