[Verse 1] Gathered 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 Tumble down the mountainside And gather to pray like a blanket on the fallen ground [Chorus] Like prayin aint a waste of time [Verse 2] She told me again that she knew Id be comin And she padded her gown with all my counterfeit money She said your love is locked in the garden you grow A soldiers wound that bleeds through his clothes So pick up your gun and pray theres no one left to fight [Chorus] Like praying aint a waste of time [Bridge] Aint a waste of time Aint a waste of time [Verse 3] I said youve given 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 deals you make will turn in flames So pray for love and the world to prayin comes [Chorus] Like praying aint a waste of time
