When you close your eyes to sleep Pray for peace And for the ones who've given up Pray for love Pray each life will lead the way with kindness Pray that truth and beauty remain timeless Pray for dreams to fly high on shattered wings Pray for hearts, broken, strong or weak Let us think before we speak And pray for peace
To forgive and then forget Pray for that ♪ Let no soul must walk alone Pray for hope Pray for time, let music play forever In a song that brings the world together For our children, can we please Pray for peace Reach for my hand and open heart There's no need for us to stand so far apart Our God on high hears every word And every mother's child holds the same worth Now I close my eyes to sleep And pray for peace ♪ For the souls trapped by the night Pray for light And choosing love to conquer hate Pray for faith May we feel compassion as one heart now Unholy wars must end before they start now Pray for trust and grace for all of us And pray to Him, hurting broken wills Pray for smiles on every child And pray for peace ♪ Let it start with me And pray for peace Pray for peace
