I prayed that when my child was born
That Peace would reign, the world conform
But that didn't happen, its true, yea
The innocence, the wondered eyes
A mind so free, yes free of lies
A soul that cries out Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
I cannot say that my faith is strong
Not always right, I've done some wrong
But I try harder now, its true, yea
I'll see the light, I'll call your name
Do anything, please don't refrain
I'll even sing out Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
I know I've said this all before
Then turned around and closed the door
I didn't raise my voice up to ya
But when I see her pretty face
The state here of the human race
Please help me Lord, oh please yea, Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
I know your kingdoms up above
You wisdom great, undying love
But I've never really prayed to ya
But now I pray on bended knees
Just hear my words, my Lord please
Let Peace come to Earth, hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
If there's a choice that I must make
Let me be the one they wake
And take my daughter's soul right to ya
I'll gladly give my life instead
Just let her live in Peace my friend
And she will praise your name, yea, Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
