Lyrics

It's funny, how we are
so many years, struggling to get this far
Pain in a mothr's eyes when her son dies, by the hands of another mother's sons reply
It's funny..young women cry
to take a soul's freedom on a lie
Maybe he just wants to hold your hand, the poor, humble lonely rich man
Caught up in a storm of greed and deception
I prayed yesterday, prayed today, every day i will pray
I prayed yesterday, prayed today, i will pray every day, that we change our ways
It's funny..ooh how we are
why do we make each other hurt? Leave emotional scars
People please awake, from your sleep
open your eyes to a brighter. clearer day coimplete
With love and compassion so sweet, fall to your knees live in peace
Fall to your knees
I prayed yesterday, pray today, i will pray every day
prayed yesterday, paryed today
I'll pray each and every way..prayed yesterday, prayed today
I guess i'll sit and pray
ohhh that we change our ways
we..got to pray
we..
I prayed yesterday, prayed today, i will pray every day
prayed yesterday, prayed today
I'lll pray every day
Prayed yesterday, prayed today. pray each and every way, prayed yesterday, prayed today
we've git to change our ways...ohhhwe've got to change our ways
