I prayed for a rain to come and wash us, oh from these troubled times
I prayed for change that will make us all hold on, oh for our whole lives
It took a word, it took a life, took a brother of mine to make us all realize
That we're not helping anyone
I woke up the paper and I read it safe, five hundred more dead in the world today
When we gonna realize that we're not helping anyone
The world is at stake, and I don't think Its fate that we go to war and we die everyday
And I know somehow we can start helping everyone
We cant hold out like this forever
We will all go down
We need to all look up at each other
And end it now
I prayed for a rain to come and wash us, oh from these troubled times
I prayed for change that will make us all hold on, oh for our whole lives
It took a word, it took a life, took a brother of mine to make us all realize
That were not helping anyone
No were not helping anyone
