Prayer Lyrics

Prayer lyrics

UK 1990)

Time: 5:21



All the hatred in the world

Where did it all come from?

That man over there, he's the one to blame

He's the one who did you wrong

And if you should ever point the finger

Raise up the glass to humanity

And the footsteps of innocence so weary

Can rest now at the doorsteps of sanity



All the children in the world

With tears in their eyes

Where did they all come from?

Standing alone in a world which

   they don't understand



And the black hearts all melt away

   as the night turns to day

And we say we all want our freedom but

   all we can do is hope and pray

'cos I don't know what we're going to do

'cos the boy who tried to change the world

Found out that world wasn't ready to change

And we say we've all got the answer but

   no-one's ready to agree

'cos I don't know what we're going to do

'cos the boy who tried to change the world

Found out that the world wasn't ready to change

'cos I don't know what we're going to do

'cos the boy who tried to change the world

Will try again when the world is ready to change
