The Boxmasters and Billy Bob Thornton Speck album




Let the bleeding pray

(Billy Bob Thornton/J.D Andrew)


We Had A Heartland
That Thumped To Beat The Band
We Took A Hard Stand
But We Stood To Lend A Hand

Sure There Were Sad Days
Yeah We Had Some Bad Ways
But We Saw Sun Rays
Pokin’ Through The Darkest Phase

Now We’re The Big Storm
Crossin’ Over The Oceans
The World Watches The Clouds Form
With Tides Of Mixed Emotions

Will The Thunder Go Away
Or Is This Just The Matinee
Let The Bleeding Pray
The Believers Say
Is This Some Kind Of Sick Foreplay
Are We Backstage At War’s Broadway
Let The Bleeding Pray
That’s What Believers Say
Let The Bleeding Pray
That’s What Believers Say

The Beltway Didn’t Plan
To Buckle Up A Man
Who’s His Own Biggest Fan

So Much For Also Ran
Even An Open Mind
Is Sometimes Unrefined
But It’s Not Designed
To Go Completely Blind

Now We’re The Big Storm
Crossin’ Over The Oceans
The World Watches The Clouds Form
With Tides Of Mixed Emotions

Will The Thunder Go Away
From This Power Drunk Ballet
Let The Bleeding Pray
The Believers Say
Is There Anyway To Sway
A Foolish Dream That’s In Decay
Let The Bleeding Pray The Believers Say
Let The Bleeding Pray
That’s What Believers Say
If You’re Bleeding Just Go Way
