Beat The System - I Pray Lyrics

Verse: News on the TV blares
Senseless killings everywhere
What is the world coming to?
Triggers pulled insensibly
Irresponsibly so selfishly
All for the sake of our pride
Gun wounds and open scars
Stench of blood from afar
Families are left torn apart
No this cannot go on
Before our future's all gone
Something's gotta give somehow

Chorus: Let the children out and play
Safe from harm, angels guard them
I pray
May the world learn right from wrong, wrong from right
On my knees I pray
To the heavens I pray

Verse: Words unaccounted for
Promises all out the door
Freedom now weighted in wars
Echoes of broken hearts
Seething silence in the dark
Where oh when the end begins
Right from the heart where love is found

Chorus: Let the children out and play
Safe from harm, angels guard them
I pray
May the world learn right from wrong, wrong from right
On my knees I pray
To the heavens I pray

Bridge: Step by step we push on together
Hand in hand we'll break this war
One by one we'll stitch up the broken
Pieces of peace now made whole
One by one we'll stitch up the broken
Pieces of peace now made whole

Chorus: Let the children out and play
Safe from harm, angels guard them
I pray
May the world learn right from wrong, wrong from right
On my knees I pray
To the heavens I pray I Pray...
