Turn on the news today
To see what the anchor has to say
Fires, murders, hurricanes
Children are dying again today
Its all the same
Will it ever change?
Who am I to say a thing
I didn't do a single thing for anybody but me today
But I used to pray
I used to pray
I used to pray
Every night I'd say
Dear lord bring us peace today
May all good people live happily
And every being treated the same
I used to pray
That all my loved ones they would stay healthy
No more cancer, no more pain, we're all ok
Why do we live this way?
A world full of fear
A world full of pain
Why do we live this way?
I used to pray
Why do we live this way?
Where do I even start?
Sometimes I wonder if I have a heart
'Cause doing nothing puts me at fault
But how can I even play a part?
Theres only one of me
I have no power
I have no money
But I used to pray
Every night I'd say
Dear lord bring us peace today
May all good people live happily
And every being treated the same
I used to pray
That all my loved ones they would stay healthy
No more cancer, no more pain, we're all ok
Why do we live this way?
A world full of fear
A world full of pain
Torture and pain
Everyday
Why do we have to live this way?
Can't we all make a change
But who am I say
All I did was pray
But I won't just pray
I'll go and make a change
And hope it inspires you to do the same
Maybe we'll be ok
