Lyrics
PRAY
EVERY NIGHT WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN
A LITTLE CHILD IN A SMALL HOMETOWN
KNEELS BESIDE HIS BED AND FOLDS HIS HANDS
PRAYS TO GOD FOR HIS FAMILY
PRAYS FOR HIS FRIENDS AND HIS ENEMIES
NIGHT AFTER NIGHT THE ANSWER NEVER COMES
HE SAYS DEAR GOD WHAT ARE WE FIGHTING FOR
WHY LIVE IN POVERTY STARVATION AND WAR
WHY LOCK THE ANSWER DEEP WITHIN OUR HEARTS
MY MOTHER SAID IT WOULD BE ALRIGHT
MY FATHER SAID I'D NEVER HAVE TO FIGHT
I USE TO THINK I WAS THE LUCKY ONE
BUT OH DEAR GOD I THINK THE FEELINGS GONE
PRAY FOR THE CHILDREN
THE YOUNG AND THE MEEK
THEY SAY THE FORECAST IS CLOUDY
THE OUTLOOK IS BLEAK
PRAY FOR THE CHILDREN
AND HOPE THAT ONE DAY
THE WARS OF GROWN-UPS WILL VANISH
AND THE PEACE OF CHILDHOOD REMAINS
THEY SAY THAT BETTER TIMES WILL COME
MAKING THIS WORLD RIGHT FOR OUR YOUNG
BUT UNTIL THEN WE MUST PRAY
EVERY NIGHT WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN
A LITTLE CHILD IN A SMALL HOMETOWN
KNEELS DOWN AND FOLDS HIS HANDS
AND PRAYS TO A GOD HE'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND
PRAY FOR THE CHILDREN
THE YOUNG AND THE MEEK
THEY SAY THE FORECAST IS CLOUDY
THE OUTLOOK IS BLEAK
PRAY FOR THE CHILDREN
AND HOPE THAT ONE DAY
THE WARS OF GROWN-UPS WILL VANISH
AND THE PEACE OF CHILDHOOD REMAINS
