regina spektor - The Prayer of François Villon (Molitva) (Live)
Recorded: 17th May 2011 NYC, Housing Works Cafe
Lyrics: (May require altering)
As long as the world's still turning,
As long as the airs still sweet,
Lord, won't you give to all of us
Whatever it is we need.
Give a mind to the wise one,
A shield to the enemy,
Give some gold to the happy man,
And don't forget about me.
As long as the world's still turning,
Lord, if it be your will,
Give to the hungry for power
A kongdom to rule his fill.
Give some rest to the generous
Under a shady tree,
Wash the stain from the face of Cain,
And don't forget about me.
I know that your powers are wondrous,
I believe that your ways are wise,
The way that a fallen soldier
Believes he's in paradise,
The way every breathing being
Believes in your gentle word,
The way, in our utter oblivion,
We keep on believing, oh Lord.
My all-wise, my all-merciful,
My sweet Lord of sea-green eyes,
As long as the world's still turning
To it's eternal surprise,
As long as it still has plenty of
Fire and destiny,
Give a little to everyone,
And don't forget about me
