Pray Turn that night into a glory day Pray Stand up for the rules and pray We can make it a better place When we pray for freedom It doesn't matter what kind of race When we pray for freedom So let's live for the promise land Living in harmony So let's live with a helping hand Dreams of a new generation And we pray What has happened to paradise? In motion or paralysed Isolation, immigration Frustration all over the nation We've been wasting most of our time Talking about things and that's no sign Recognize the advice It's more than only an exercise Remember of the world so far away Where people stay and pray everyday They have their hopes, they have their chance Pray for peace and tolerance Remember our past time paradise A system without any compromise Let me say we can find a way Stand up for the rules and pray We can make it a better place When we pray for freedom It doesn't matter what kind of race When we pray for freedom So let's live for the promise land Living in harmony So let's live with a helping hand Dreams of a new generation And we pray Pray Pray What has happened to paradise? Is it turned into a world of sorrow and lies? So many people don't care about rules Honest people seem to be the fools Time to wise up, time to rise up Open your eyes up, to the top Hold a dream against the wind Close your eyes and let it in I've heard of a world so far away Where people stay and pray everyday They have no god, no sovereign They pray for their rules and so they win Remember of past time paradise To be living in no compromise Let me say we can find a way Stand up for the rules and pray We can make it a better place When we pray for freedom It doesn't matter what kind of race When we pray for freedom So let's live for the promise land Living in harmony So let's live with a helping hand Dreams of a new generation And we pray Pray Pray We can make it a better place When we pray for freedom It doesn't matter what kind of race When we pray for freedom So let's live for the promise land Living in harmony So let's live with a helping hand Dreams of a new generation And we pray Pray
