Lord I pray

That in my lifetime there will come a day

When the world will wake up with unclouded eyes

And there'll be no more need to cry

Won't you bring that dream to life

Oh Lord I pray

Deliver us from bigotry and hate

Please give shelter to the wayward children

Comfort them and keep them safe

Oh Lord I pray

For a world with no weapons one day

Please give wisdom to the ones who lead us

Jesus help them find their way

I pray that the love

You shower down on us

Will lift us up

And we will live as one

I know there'll come a day

I know you'll make a way

Please listen as I pray

Lord I pray

That in my lifetime there will come a day

When the world will wake up with unclouded eyes

And there'll be no more need to cry

Won't you bring that dream to life
