Mariah Carey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lord I pray
That in my lifetime there will come a day
When the world will wake up with unclouded eyes and
There'll be no more need to cry
Won't you bring that dream to life?
Deliver us from bigotry and hate
Please give shelter to the wayward children
Comfort them and keep them safe
Oh Lord I pray
For a world with no weapons one day
Please give wisdom to the ones who lead us
Jesus help them find their way, ohh
I'm praying that the love you shower down on us
Will lift us up and we will live as one
I know there'll come a day
I know you'll make a way
Please listen as I pray
Ohh, Lord I pray (Lord I pray)
That in my lifetime there will come a day
When the world will wake up with unclouded eyes and
There'll be no more need to cry
Won't you bring that dream to life?
Lord I pray (Lord I pray)
That in my lifetime there will come a day (come a time)
When we all can open up our hearts and minds
And see we're all the same inside
Won't you bring that dream to life?
Won't you bring that dream to life?
