Lyrics
I'll pray for peace

(Verse 1)
As we sail along in this old world and troubles come alound
We send a quiet shout up to the stars and try to carry along
Fix this for me, help me win, I promise I'll be good
Then we close our eyes and we try to live our lives the way we should
(Chorus)
Farmer in the field's gonna pray for rain
The broken-hearted ask, Dear Lord please wash away my pain
Young girl begs for true love, when she gets down on her knees
But I know something everybody needs
If you leave it up to me, I'll pray for peace
Bridge
I know that he can hear us 'cause He's been there for all time
But we all want an answer right away,
'Yes' will do just fine, for this simple wish of mine
But it looks like what he's sayin', is we're gonna have to wait.
(Verse 2)
Sinner wants salvation, gambler needs another King
Drunkard pleads for just one more when life is lookin' bleak
Forgive me for my own mistakes at times when I am weak
Everybody needs a guiding hand, yeah that's what I believe
(Chorus)
Farmer in the field's gonna pray for rain
The broken-hearted ask Him. Lord please wash away my pain
Young girl begs for true love, when she gets down on her knees
But I know something everybody needs, f you leave it up to me, I'll pray for peace
If you leave it up to me, I'll pray for peace, Pray for peace I'll pray for peace,
Pray for peace, I'll pray for peace, pray for peace, pray for peace
