Walking the road but there’s no place to go
Sitting at the door but there’s no one coming home
Up in the sky there’s a star shining bright
Telling me again that everything will be right
People pass me by with their heads hanging low
We’re waiting so long just for a ray bringing hope
Why can’t we see that there’s a light in our hearts
That can bring us up again and give our life a new start
We have lost our faith
There’s no time to find out and say “Who’s to blame?”
We’re sure lost again
We’re in a world doing wrong with our eyes going blind
There’s a lot more to do, than just praying
It isn’t so hard just try to be little kind
There’s a lot more to do, than just praying
Why do we hide from the world that’s being cruel?
Keep fighting our fate which is in our hands for real
We’re destined for love but keep facing this hate
Cuz’ till we doubt ourselves there’s really nothing we can get
Never can let go the things from the past
Desiring always for the things that never last
It’s our own selfish egos who started these fights
With no love in heart how can we ever make it right?
We have lost our faith
There’s no time to find out and say – “Who’s to blame?”
We’re sure lost again
We’re in a world doing wrong with our eyes going blind
There’s a lot more to do than just praying
Help them stand up again We need to be that kind
There’s a lot more to do, than just praying
Bridge:
Let’s not wait for God now / to take control
Our prayers can’t reach so high / When we’ve been stoopin’ so low
Let’s not try to wake up God / From the dream we’ve forsaken
It’s we who sleep with open eyes and need to be awakened
We’re still on the way
From where we could turn back and then try to change
Things that put us to shame
We’re in a world doing wrong with our eyes going blind
There’s a lot more to do than just praying
It isn’t so hard just try to be little kind
There’s a lot more to do, than just praying
Help them stand up again you gotta be that kind
There’s a lot more to do, than just praying
