Pray (For the World's Years) TM By: Wendy R. Berry

I look up at the sky wonderin' what could've been
Today's trends gettin' old
Wearin' out so thin
A Generation of love and hate
What would you do
If you were a teen in '68?

Would you be a hawk, or a dove?
Wavin' the flag, or shoutin' L-O-V-E
Bein' patriotic
Or protesting, winding up on tv?

Civil liberties, civil rights
MLK's dream
Causing chaos and fights
Ending in the loss of his wonderful life

*Chorus*
If I could, I would go back in time
Change the world
One day at a time
But all that I can do
I can do without delay
I can close my eyes, and pray
(End Chorus)

Now, what about 1887
Following Brigham Young
Building a temple
House of the Lord
The closest thing to the celestial heaven

Working together
Finding a solution
Our Faith causing persecution
Could you handle that?
What do you think about that?

(Repeat Chorus 1x)

What if you were a teen in '94
Witnessing nothing seen before
Soakin' up the sun outside
While others die
In Rwanda's genocide

What would you do then?
Oh, what would you do and when?

(Repeat Chorus)

I cannot change the past
Born in 1991
My life's passing by so fast
Livin' now in 2012
I can change views, I can change myself

All I can do is pray everyday
Hoping Heavenly Father will find a way
There are others out there less fortunate than me
Home of the brave, but not always the free.
Let's start a positive love revolutionary!

(Repeat chorus final time)













Your love
Your Eyes
Your Grace

They keep me in place
Oooooh
