Prayer for the World by Maxi Priest Lyrics

Not just another prayer
Not just another song

When I look at the darkness all around us
I feel like I'm loosin' control
So many people who just don't know where to go
Listen to me now
Not a song goes unsung
Not a voice goes unheard
Ooh I'm hanging on your every word

[Chorus]
Say a prayer for the world
Only love can save us now
Say a prayer for the world
Believe that it's gonna be all right somehow
Every day it's a new day
Every day we start again
Say a prayer for the world
And send all your love to all creation oh yeah
Said the world is my pillow, where I rest my weary head
I'm not afraid of dying but I'm not thinking about leaving here oh no
And the voice says learn to sit in silence
Not a flower grows in vain
We must learn to cultivate the garden oh yeah

[Chorus]
And when the darkness rolls in
There's a light still shining yeah oh yeah
Suspended here in twilight
Here's a road I'm finding yeah oh yeah
Say a prayer

[Chorus x2]
Not just another prayer
Not just another song
