Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
Don't wanna live in a prison cell
ย
Don't wanna live in a smoking room
ย
Independence just don't come to you
ย
In the brief of a diplomat
Say your prayers for the future
Say your prayers for the past
It might be round the corner
It might be all we have
Say your prayers
ย
Couldn't live with a compromise
ย
Couldn't live with hypocrisy
ย
Bureaucracy it doesn't have to win
ย
You break the cage of the beast within
Say your prayers in the boardroom
Say your prayers on the stairs
It might be catastrophic
It might be too damn bad
Say your prayers
ย
I got the cure for compassion fatigue
Spend a week with the Timorese
Running scared from the military
You can share
You can share your disease
ย
Now we won't live with an absent master
ย
Couldn't live on an island divided
ย
Don't want my kids to grow up in shame
In a country with a different name
Had to throw them out
Had to break the chains
Say your prayers for the future
Say your prayers for the past
It might be round the corner
It might be all we have
Say your prayers
ย
I got the cure for compassion fatigue
Spend a week with the Timorese
Running scared from the military
I come to you
With the greatest prayer
ย
