lyrics

Hey there friend could you tell me again what you meant when you said prayers would save me, hey there friend could you tell me again what itʼs worth if nobody loves me, if you have faith our prayers will be answered, at least I can say I believe in you.

I always thought that you were so gorgeous a lovely girl with a lovely heart, I always thought the world was in yours hands and maybe my hand could be too, then it slips away in the smoke and confusion there are bigger things than me and you.

Could a prayer stop them from killing, If I beg will the guns all fall still, could our prayers rebuild this planet, if we beg could all life exist as one?
Hey my friends the elk and beaver hey my brothers the wolf and bear, hey my friends trapped on the farms and murder is murder and thats not fair, here I thought that life was so precious but itʼs for power and money that my species cares.

I aways thought youʼd be the one whoʼd save me from myself but can we not save them before itʼs too late, I will always love you like you love the trees and creatures we came from, if I just believe will there be, answer to live by to change these dark times or a curse thats destroys our lives?
Could a prayer really save me, if was sincere, could a prayer penetrate, all the lies and the fear, that is felt by a weakening system and planet weʼve lost for all future years?

Could a prayer stop them from killing, If I beg will the guns all fall still, could our prayers rebuild this planet, if we beg could all life exist as one?
and could I have you, and could we be one?

Virtual Heaven
by Infinity Crush

Just found this by chance in the "if you like David Stone... section" - It's a beautifully warm record, clean and smooth, but without being polished to a shine. Perfect walking-in-Autumn record. David Stone
