4th Day Prayer

I was the Queen of Westmount Park
 It was all mine after dark
 Old willow tree, it was my throne
 'Til I, 'til I went home
 Father used me like a wife
 Mother turned the blindest eye
 Stole my body, spirit, pride
 He did, he did each night
 One for the hate that loops and loops
 Two for the poison at the roots
 Three for the children breaking through
 Four for the day we're standing in the sun
 ♪
 "These are the best years of your life"
 If I'd believed it, I'd have died
 Something told me that they lied
 Oh I, oh I survived
 Left home, I was just a child
 Slept in the graveyard, end of the Mile
 When the sun came up and found my skin
 I rose, I rose again
 One for the hate that loops and loops
 Two for the poison at the roots
 Three for the children breaking through
 Four for the day we're standing in the sun
 ♪
 Slip streams and fever dreams
 Do you see what I can't see?
 Tell me, tell me, tell me
 I want to understand
 From the coast of Africa
 To the hills of Grenada
 To the cold of Montreal
 That whip, that whip still falls
 One for the hate that loops and loops
 Two for the poison at the roots
 Three for the children breaking through
 Four for the day we're standing in the sun
 One for the hate that loops and loops
 Two for the poison at the roots
 Three for the children breaking through
 Four for the day-
 One for the hate that loops and loops
 Two for the poison at the roots
 Three for the children breaking through
 Four for the day-
