I counted my luck and I went with my brother To where the witch on the hill threw the bones of her mother To where the bravest birds in the height of the sky Tumbled down the mountain side And gathered to pray like a blanket on the fallen pines Like praying ain't a waste of time She told me again that she knew I'd be coming While she padded her gown with all my counterfeit money And said "Your love is locked in the garden you grow Like a soldier's wound that bleeds through his clothes So pick up your gun and pray there's no one else to fight." Like praying ain't a waste of time Ain't a waste of time Ain't a waste of time I said "You're giving me less than you know I can handle." So the witch on the hill lit a single black candle And said "The name of God is carved on a blade The wheels you make will turn in flames So pray for love and the world to pray in kind." Like praying ain't a waste of time
