Lord I pray That in my lifetime there will come a day When the world will wake up with unclouded eyes and There'll be no more need to cry Won't you bring that dream to life Oh Lord I pray Deliver us from bigotry and hate Please give shelter to the wayward children Comfort them and keep them safe Oh Lord I pray For a world with no weapons one day Please give wisdom to the ones who lead us Jesus help them find their way I'm praying that the love you shower down on us Will lift us up and we will live as one I know there'll come a day I know you'll make a way Please listen as I pray Lord I pray That in my lifetime there will come a day When the world will wake up with unclouded eyes and There'll be no more need to cry Won't you bring that dream to life? Lord I pray That in my lifetime there will come a day When we all can open up our hearts and minds And see we're all the same inside Won't you bring that dream to life? Won't you bring that dream to life?
