Thoughts and Prayers - Samm Henshaw

Hello stranger

Girl’s in danger

But you won’t fight hard enough to save us

And it ain’t you issue

'Cause it ain’t your sister

It ain’t you missus

You don’t get it do you

'Cause if that were me I would’a (Oo)

Maybe I would’ve, thought for a second

Until maybe I should’ve

There’s blood on my hands after all (Oh God)

Blood on my hands after all

Bow my head, said my prayers

I’m the good one, ain’t I?

Washed my hands of all my sins

I’m the good guy, ain’t I?

If everyone were like me

Could there be the change I’d like to see

Ain’t I good?

Ain’t I right?

Did I try?

But if I cared

I’d give more than thoughts and prayers

Said the burden’s more than yours to bear

But ego’s on my side

Am I as good as I say if I tried?

Do we try?

We try

We try (Oh)

We try

Do we try?

Hello Papa, the world’s got problems

And you won’t work hard enough to solve 'em

'Cause you hate Christians

And you hate Muslims

And you might kill over race and color

If that happened to someone that I knew

Then I would’ve

Probably laughed at his race jokes, when I shouldn’t

Guess there’s blood on my hands after all

Blood on my hands after all

Say bow my head, said my prayers

I’m the good one, ain’t I?

Oh washed my hands of all my sins

I’m the good guy, ain’t I?

Oh if everyone were like me

Could there be the change I’d like to see

Ain’t I good?

Ain’t I right?

Did I try?

(Yeah yeah)

But if I cared

Oh I’d give more than thoughts and prayers

I said the burden’s more than yours to bear (Oh yeah)

Oh but ego’s on my side

Am I as good as I say if I tried?

Oh do we try?

Do we try?

Do we try?

(Oh)

Oh yeah

Do we try?

Sing, do we try?

Do we try?

Am I as good as I say, if I don’t try?

Oh bow my head, said my prayers (Oh-no-no-no-no-no)

(Washed my hands of all my sins)

Said I wash it off, I wash it off yeah

Oo-oo-yeah

Oh-oh

Ohhh

Dubie-doot-doot-doot-doot-uh

Oh-no-no-no
