[Verse 1]
As war drums beat in Babylon
Cinnamon Girl starts to pray
I never heard a prayer like this one
Never before that day

[Pre-Chorus]
Tearful words of love for people she had never met before
Asking God to grant them mercy in this face of a holy war

[Chorus]
Cinnamon Girl
Cinnamon Girl

[Verse 2]
Cinnamon Girl of mixed heritage
Never knew the meaning of color lines
9-1-1 turned that all around
When she got accused of this crime

[Pre-Chorus]
So began the mass illusion, war on terror alibi
What's the use when the God of Confusion keeps on telling the same lie?

[Chorus]
Cinnamon Girl
Cinnamon Girl
[Bridge]
Don't cry, don't shed no tears
One night won't make us feel
'Cause we know how this movie's ending

[Chorus]
Cinnamon Girl
Cinnamon Girl

[Verse 3]
As war drums beat in Babylon
And scorch the blood red sky
Militants bomb the foreign gun
Both side's children die

[Pre-Chorus]
Cinnamon Girl opens the book she knows will settle all the scores
Then she prays after the war that there will not be any more

[Chorus]
Cinnamon Girl
Cinnamon Girl
Cinnamon Girl
Don't worry, baby, it's gonna be alright
Cinnamon Girl
