I prayed for hope and life unchanged

And God seems quite deranged

But that doesn't matter

I prayed for happiness and health

But God seeks endless wealth

And that doesn't matter

Pray that all the world starts to understand

Pray instead of thinking, hand in hand

Pray away the suffering, the hunger, and the fear

It disappears

When I pray for blessings heaven-sent

But God is not your friend

And that's all that matters

I prayed for love and world peace

But war defends beliefs

In things that don't matter

Pray that all the world starts to understand

Pray instead of thinking, hand in hand

Pray away the suffering, the hunger, and the fear

It disappears when I pray

Pray that all the world starts to understand

Pray instead of thinking, hand in hand

Pray away the suffering, the hunger, and the fear

It disappears!

Maybe it's the world, that's what the prophets said

Maybe it's just me, it's all inside my head

And then maybe it's you, doing what they told you to!

Did you pray!?

I prayed, too
