what is goin on in the world these days
its lookin more and more like everybody has lost their ways
too many people shoot one and an other
and floks want to protest a soldiers funeral
abusin the right
they fight
to keep
i just dont get it
but what can i do
so tonight lord
i'm talkin to you

i pray
for a change
cuz i dont know where this world is heading
its a scary thought
i know i'm just one person
but lord theres so much hurtin
goin on
so much wrong
so i hope you hear me
cuz thinkin about raisin my daughter
the way things are
man it breaks my heart
i hope for a better day
thats why i pray

what happen to givin a damn
what happen to takin a stand
we know whats wrong
and whats right
so why is there always some kind of fight
with the devil
no we cant let him win
ya'll dont let him in
oh

i pray
for a change
cuz i dont know where this world is heading
its a scary thought
i know i'm just one person
but lord theres so much hurtin
goin on
so much wrong
so i hope you hear me
cuz thinkin about raisin my daughter
the way things are
man it breaks my heart
i hope for a better day
thats why i pray

if everybody just got down on their knees
maybe good would look down here and see
that we still believe
oh still believe

i pray
for a change
cuz i dont know where this world is heading
its a scary thought
i know i'm just one person
but lord theres so much hurtin
goin on
so much wrong
so i hope you hear me
cuz thinkin about raisin my daughter
the way things are
man it breaks my heart
i hope for a better day
thats why i pray
