Prayer for Peace

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Look back upon the crossroads, seeing in our grandfathers lives That change has come and gone, we're not any more wise Make me want to holler, make me want to moan Pray for peace Pray for peace Prayer for peace [Verse 2] I hate to think our grandmothers would be broken hearted To see their children's children right back where we started (Prayer for peace, it's a prayer for peace) Make me want to holler, make me want to moan Prayer for peace It's a prayer for peace [Guitar solo] Prayer for peace [Verse 3] We'll thank heaven for a change, I've seen in my lifetime Our children are teaching us to be ever more color blind [Bridge 1] Color blind, color blind, color blind Wish we could be color blind Color blind, color blind, color blind Wish we could be color blind Color blind, color blind, color blind Wish we could be color blind Color blind, color blind, color blind Wish we could be color blind [Verse 4] The innocence and love seen in our children's face Makes me pray ignorance and hate disintegrate into space Shall we pray Prayer for peace It's a prayer for peace Pray for peace It's a prayer for peace [Bridge 2] Chicago, Paris, Charleston, New Orleans, San Bernandino, Boston, Orlando, Ferguson Missouri Let us pray together Let us pray for peace Let us pray together [Verse 5] If Martin Luther King sat on the mountain today my friends It'd be so good to have brother Martin pray again But what would Martin Luther King, what would he dare to think? Would the state of the world today cause brother Martin to drink?
