I prayed for change that will make us all hold on, oh for our whole lives

It took a word, it took a life, took a brother of mine to make us all realize

That were not helping anyone



I woke up the paper and I read it safe, five hundred more dead in the world today

When we gonna realize that were not helping anyone

The world is at stake, and I dont think Its fate that we go to war and we die everyday

And I know somehow we can start helping everyone



We cant hold out like this forever

We will all go down 

We need to all look up at each other 

And end it now 



I prayed for a rain to come and wash us, oh from these troubled times

I prayed for change that will make us all hold on, oh for our whole lives

It took a word, it took a life, took a brother of mine to make us all realize

That were not helping anyone

No were not helping anyone
