I saw Judas Iscariot, with a bottle of wine
talkin suicide with an old friend of mine.
They gathered a crowd down at the end of the tracks,
and a woman cried out when is god comin' back?
They pretended not to notice
they came down hard on the weak.
Causing war and starvation, refusing
to let them speak.
For every mountain i climb,
for every river that winds,
for every wind that will blow,
I will send out my prayers for the children below.
[second verse starts on last beat of chorus] I
... saw crazy horse walkin' alone in the dark
on streets paved with the blood oF his broken heart.
He never dreamed it would turn out like this.
They pretend that they just don't see.
They are blinded in their own mediocrity.
They got their trophies and their cars and their houses on the hill,
and they don't really care that their wars are a killin' me
For every child that follows the dream
ten thousand angels will fly.
No one will force them to run.
They will stand up and fight,
till the battle is won.
For every mountain i climb,
for every river that winds,
for every wind that will blow,
I will send out my prayers for the children below.
For every mountain i climb,
for every river that winds,
for every wind that will blow,
I will send out my prayers for the children below.
the children below
the children below
