Daniel Kahn, Vanya Zhuk - Prayer

Текст песни

As long as the world keeps turning, Lord
As long as the sun shines bright
Give each according to their need
Each who dwell in Thy sight
A mind unto the wise one
Unto the craven a steed
Give gold to those in fortune
But leave me not in my need
As long as the world keeps turning
Oh Lord, the power be Thine
So let those who only thirst for might
Drink their fill of power like wine
Give working people time to rest
Let Cain bemoan his deed
But before the evening sun does set
Oh, leave me not in my need
I know Thou doest as Thou wilt
I know Thy wisdom is true
As the slaughtered soldier knows he lies
Up in the heavenly blue
As every open ear does know
Thy silent word is true
As we all do know our faith in Thee
Though we know not what we do
Oh Father, King, oh Lord of mine
With Thy shining emerald eyes
As long as the world keeps turning
And grows old, but never grows wise
As long as there is time to spend
And fire enough to burn
Give some to each within Thy sight
But leave me not in my turn
