what a miracle is life
the fields are high and the fruit is ripe
so hold out your hands
yeah hold out your hands
and you're the same as me
you breathe the air i breathe
and we don't understand
yeah we don't understand
and if you don't ask questions you won't know why
so say a prayer for the time while there's still time so

pray for good and pray for love
pray for peace and pray it's enough
pray for salvation
pray that we're right
pray one day we'll open our eyes and
pray for them and pray for us
pray one day we can live as one
pray for the children whose time is to come
just pray they forgive us for the stupid things we've done

we all see the same sun
each day a golden praise is sung
to the wonder of man
yeah to the wonder of man
and when we look why can't we see
all the riches that are free
oh we don't understand
yeah we don't understand

pray for good and pray for love
pray for peace and pray it's enough
pray for salvation
pray that we're right
pray one day we'll open our eyes and
pray for them and pray for us
pray one day we can live as one
pray for the children whose time is to come
just pray they forgive us for the stupid things we've done
