Look back on the crossroads seen in our grandfather's lives
Lot of changes come and gone
But are we any more wise?
Make me wanna holler
Make me wanna moan
ย
Pray for peace
Pray for peace
It's a prayer for peace
I hate to think our grandmothers would be broken-hearted
To see their children's children right back where we started
Pray for peace
It's a prayer for peace
Make me wanna holler
Lord, it make me wanna moan
ย
Pray for peace
It's a prayer for peace
ย
Pray for peace

Make heaven for a change
I've seen in my lifetime
Our children are teaching us to be evermore colorblind
Colorblind, colorblind, colorblind
Wish we could be colorblind
Colorblind, colorblind, colorblind
Wish we could be colorblind
Colorblind, colorblind, colorblind
Wish we could be colorblind
Colorblind, colorblind, colorblind
Wish we could be colorblind
The innocence and love seen in our children's face
Makes me pray ignorance and hate disintegrate into space
Shall we pray?
Pray for peace
It's a prayer for peace
Pray for peace
It's a prayer for peace
Chicago, Paris, Charleston, New Orleans
San Bernardino, Boston, Orlando, Ferguson, Missouri
Let us pray together
Let us pray for peace
Let us pray together
Let us pray together

If Martin Luther King stood on a mountain today, my friends
It'd be so good to hear brother Martin pray again
But what would Martin Luther King
What would he dare to think?
Would the state of the world today cause brother Martin to drink?
