In the name of
And by the power of
The holy spirit
May we invoke your
Intersession for
The children of England
Some of whom have seen
Murder so obscene
Some of whom have been taken

Let not another child be slain
Let not another search be made in vain

Jah forgive us
For forgetting
Jah help us
We need more loving
See the teachers
Are representing you
So badly
That not many can see you

Let not another child be slain
Let not another search be made in vain

Jah calls the ones whose
Beliefs kill children too
Feel the love of you and be healed
And may we all cry too
For representing you
So badly so badly

Jah forgive us
For forgetting
Oh jah help us
To be forgiving
The teachers are representing you
So badly that not many can see you

Let not another child be slain
Let not another search be made in vain

-Massive Attack, "A Prayer for England"

I liked this.

I love London. Sam's parents are there, and they were on a bus about a mile from where one of the bombs went off. They ended up having to walk all the way home across the city, but in true Londoner spirit, they enjoyed themselves thoroughly.
