"So Pretty" lyrics

Rhiannon Giddens & Lara Downes Lyrics

"So Pretty"

We were learning in our school today
All about a country far away
Full of lovely temples painted gold
Modern cities, jungles ages old
And the people are so pretty there
Shining smiles and shiny eyes and hair

Then I had to ask my teacher why
War was making all those people die
They're so pretty, so pretty

Then my teacher said and took my hand
"They must die for peace, you understand"
But they're so pretty, so pretty

I don't understand
