Every morning there's a ritual There's a routine When you're reading all the news In the world from the screen For a second sense of powerlessness Fills you up People suffer, people die And this will never stop But as years go by you learned To stay under control So you're lying in your bed Going numb from it all In gardens of stone We die alone Waiting for someone To guide us back home But nobody's there And nobody cares Our only answer is still Thoughts and prayers Ages spent just waiting For the justice from the cloud Hoping for the higher forces To sort it all out Since technology and science For you don't make sense Hollow empathy's now The only way of defence In gardens of stone We die alone Waiting for someone To guide us back home But nobody's there And nobody cares Our only answer is still Thoughts and prayers In gardens of stone We die alone Waiting for someone To guide us back home Nobody's there Nobody cares Our only answer is still Thoughts and prayers Thoughts and prayers
