ONE PRAYER
by Karl Anthony
If I had one prayer, I'd pray for people who hate
Maybe I'm out of my mind ...or deep in my faith
A man grows old ...when his souls in pain
Only love can loosen that chain
But if I offer you grace, will it cause any change
And do I appear weak, if I calm my rage
I think of revenge, but will I become
The thing I despise, when a heart goes numb
I'll say a prayer, hoping it finds ...people who hate
I send it now, to heal the hearts ...of people who hate
If only one song ...could silence hate
And end all the war ...before its too late
If a cold mind ...could begin to feel
Then the fear in our world ...has a chance to heal
I'll say a prayer, knowing it finds ...people who hate
I send it now, to heal the hearts ...of people who hate
......pray for people who hate
All of our thoughts ...can set the stage
For the power of love ...is larger than rage
When we take revenge ...we will become
The hate we despise ...as our soul goes numb
I have One Prayer ...for the world to hear
It's a cry for mercy ...the last of our tears
Let hate dissolve ... let the past reveal
That love has shown us what is real
Angels above, quiet the pain ...in people who hate
I'm sending One Prayer, to heal the hearts ...in people who hate
One prayer.....Pray!
(May all be loved, may all be blessed, may all feel peace....pray for people who hate)
I'm sending love to people who hate
I must be out of my mind ...or deep in my faith
