When I go to bed at night Sometimes I reminisce About the way it used to be When things were not like this The world’s a ball of confusion Goin’ down in flames Sometimes I think the Lord Jesus Christ Died in vain
Because out there on the corner There’s a man on the street He’s got his hand out Cause he’s got a family to feed
And the people pass him by They don’t know right from wrong Dear God what the hell is goin’ on And the state of the world now Is making me sick Because the walls that separate us Are ten feet thick And everywhere I look I see war, famine and pain Come on hop on everybody On this hell bound train
And we left the world behind us In a sorry state I hope this younger generation Won’t accept this fate
And I’m hopin’ that tomorrow’s Better than today Dear God, it’s enough to make you go insane
But I know a change is gonna come Soon we’re gonna see the son
Mother Mary don’t you cry Just sing us your lullaby Free us from all this insanity Now I hear your words So, you can speak through me
Now we must believe In what we can’t see So, we can be free To make a change Make love from hate We must be strong Have hope and faith To see the light Just close your eyes And take the time To say a little prayer every night, oh, oh, yeas

Before I walk through the valley Of the shadow of death I’ll look at my life But I have no regrets And I am not ashamed To say I’ve made mistakes I’ll say I’ve learned from them Then walk through Heaven’s Gates
There ain’t no black or white To me they’re all the same We all pray to one God But call him different names So we better be ready to accept our fates Cause when the end comes God it’s gonna be too late
But I know a change is gonna come Soon we’re gonna see the son
Mother Mary don’t you cry Just sing us your lullaby Free us from all this insanity Now I hear your words So, you can speak through me
Now we must believe In what we can’t see So, we can be free To make a change Make love from hate We must be strong Have hope and faith To see the light Just close your eyes And take the time To say a little prayer every night oh
Oh… Say a little prayer every night
Oh… Say a little prayer every night
Say a little prayer Say a little prayer Say a little prayer Say a little prayer every night
