The Blind Boys Of Alabama - Almost Home

Pray For Peace

Looking back on crossroad scene
It might be impossible life
A lot of change has come
But we are still not wise

Make me want to holler
Make me want to moan
But 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)
It's a prayer for peace (pray for peace)
Uh, huh (pray for peace)
Uh, huh (pray for peace)
It's a prayer for peace (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

Make me want to holler
Make me want to moan
I'm gonna keep on singing
'Til the morning comes

Uh, huh (pray for peace)
Uh, huh (pray for peace)
It's a prayer for peace (pray for peace)
It's a prayer for peace (pray for peace)
Hm-mm (pray for peace)
I'm gonna pray for peace (pray for peace)
Oh, yeah (pray for peace)
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 color-blind

Color-blind (color-blind, color-blind)
Oh, wish we could be color-blind (color-blind, color-blind)
Hey, wish we could be color-blind (color-blind, color-blind)
Hey, wish we could be color-blind (color-blind, color-blind)
Hey-hey, wish we could be color-blind (color-blind)

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

Pray for peace (pray for peace)
Pray for peace (pray for peace)
Somebody (pray for peace)
Oh, pray for peace (pray for peace)
Pray for peace (pray for peace)
Please pray for peace (pray for peace)
Please, please (pray for peace)
Please, please (pray for peace)

Selma (pray for peace)
Montgomery (pray for peace)
Birmingham (pray for peace)
Greenborough (pray for peace)
Mississippi (pray for peace)
Memphis, Tennessee (pray for peace)
Charleston (pray for peace)
Oh, I guess another wreck (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 (pray for peace)
So pray for peace (pray for peace)
I need somebody (pray for peace)
To pray for peace (pray for peace)
Can you pray for peace (pray for peace)
Pray for peace (pray for peace)

Can I get one witness (pray for peace)
Pray for peace (pray for peace)
Let us pray for peace (pray for peace)
Somebody (pray for peace)
Oh, the prayer for peace (pray for peace) ah-ah-ah
Let's pray for peace (pray for peace)
Get down on your kneel (pray for peace)

I wonder, will you pray for peace (pray for peace) ah-ah-ah (pray for peace)
Pray for peace (pray for peace)
I wonder, will you pray for peace (pray for peace)
Pray for peace (pray for peace) ah-ah-ah
Pray for peace
