Lyrics
Verse
A mother cries
As her baby dies
watching life slip by
So helplessly
Riots in our towns
People just scream and shout
Burning buildings down
There's no peace
They're keeping us apart
But don't lose faith and don't lose heart
Come on let's sing
Chorus
I raise my hands up to the sky
lift my head and close my eyes
And pray for love
stop drawing lines
And choosing sides
Let's join hands
Lay down our signs
and pray for love
Cause United we will stand
Or Divided we will fall
So let's pray for love
Verse 2
Sisters and brothers
Can't we stop hating each other
Cause the color of our skin
Is not the same
Blood in the streets
isn't what we need
for our hearts to change
And minds to be set free
They keeping us apart
But Don't lose faith and don't lose heart
Come on lets sing
Chorus
I raise my hands up to the sky
lift my head and close my eyes
And pray for love
stop drawing lines
And choosing sides
Let's join hands
Lay down our signs
and pray for love
Cause United we will stand
Or Divided we will fall
So let's pray for love
Bridge
The world is full of fear and doubt
It's Upside down & inside out
And you
Feel like your falling through it all
The whole thing seems like such a mess
We're pulled apart and then compressed
And you
You're not sure we'll make it though it all
But I believe in love
I believe in love
I believe
Verse 3
One man died
As his mother cried
With arms open wide
Nailed to a tree
His sacrifice
Was for you and I
So let's take a knee
Before The King
Chorus
I raise my hands up to the sky
lift my head and close my eyes
And pray for love
stop drawing lines
And choosing sides
Let's join hands
Lay down our signs
and pray for love
Cause United we will stand
Or Divided we will fall
Yes United we will stand
And Never Ever Fall
Our Father
Who art in heaven
Hallowed be Thy Name
