We're not so different, you and me
Behind our courage we're both strong when underneath
Would you dare to take my hand? 
Though I'm a stranger, we're both strangers in this land

I will pray for you and I will hope that you'll pray for me
You won't need your weapons I'll surender, don't you see?

Would you light a candle for me
In the midst of sovereign and grief?
Would you send me angels when I'm in need?
Lord, just be with me and comfort me 'til I sleep

I see the wounds you can not mend
I see the anger I can slowly comprehend
Although some things can't be undone
When you come with your bullets and armor, what have you won?

I will pray for you and I will hope that you'll pray for me
Atoms can be broken and the pain can be relieved

Would you light a candle for me
In the midst of sovereign and grief?
Would you send me angels when I'm in need?
Lord, just be with me and comfort me 'til I sleep

Some things were meant to change
For peace we can not wait

Would you light a candle for me
In the midst of sovereign and grief?
Would you send me angels when I'm in need?
Lord, just be with me and comfort me, oh, 'til I sleep

Some things were meant to change
For peace we can not wait
