"Cinnamon Girl" Lyrics

Buy from iTunes: Prince

As war drums beat in Babylon
Cinnamon Girl starts 2 pray
I'd never heard a prayer like this one
Never before that day
Tearful words of love 4 people she had never met before
Asking God 2 grant them mercy in this phase of holy war

Cinnamon Girl {x2}

Cinnamon Girl of mixed heritage
Never knew the meaning of color lines
911 turned that all around
When she got accused of this crime
So began the mass illusion, war on terror, alibi
What's the use when the god of confusion keeps on telling the same
lie?

Cinnamon Girl {x2}

Don't cry, don't shed no tears
One lie won't make us fear
Cuz we know how this movie's ending

Cinnamon Girl

As war drums beat in Babylon
And scorch the blood red sky
Militants bomb the foreign gun
Both sides, children die
Cinnamon Girl opens the book she knows will settle all the scores
Then she prays after the war that there will not be any more

Cinnamon Girl {x3}
Don't worry, baby, it's gon' be alright, yeah
Cinnamon Girl
