lyrics

Look back on crossroads seen
In our grandfathers’ lives
a lot of change has come
but we are still not wise

Make me wanna holla
Make me wanna moan
I’m gonna keep on singing
Until the morning comes

Uh huh
Pray for peace
Uh huh
Pray for peace
It’s a prayer for peace
Pray for peace

I think that our grandmothers
Would be broken hearted
To see their children’s children
Right back where we started

Makes me wanna holla
Makes me wanna moan
I’m gonna keep on singing
‘Til the morning comes

Uh huh
Pray for peace
Umm hmm
It’s a prayer for peace
Pray for Peace

Thank heaven for the changes
I’ve seen in my lifetime
Now our children teach us
To be more colorblind

Colorblind, colorblind,
Wish we could be color blind
Colorblind, colorblind,
Wish we could be color blind

The innocence and love
Seen on our children’s face
Makes me pray that ignorance
And hate will be erased

Pray for peace
Pray for peace

Selma - pray for peace
Montgomery - pray for peace
Birmingham - pray for peace
Greensboro - pray for peace
Mississippi - pray for peace
Memphis, Tennessee - pray for peace
Charleston - pray for peace
Ferguson, Missouri - pray for peace

If Martin Luther King
Stood on the mount today
It would be so good to hear
Brother Martin pray

If Martin Luther King
Was standing here today
I do believe that we would hear
My brother preach and pray

Pray for peace
