I Pray

When I lay my head to sleep
I pray for everyone in the world
For the hopeless and the brokenhearted
All the people in the world
People in the world

All the mothers and the fathers
And the sons and the daughters in the world
All the lonely and the lovers
All the people in the world
People in the world

And I\'m praying for the kids who never made it home
Praying for the kids who came but never stayed for long
And I\'m praying for the kids who still stuck in that system
For the ones that we lost and the ones that we missin\'
I hope they know that somebody listens

I pray for the teachers
The doctors and lawyers and thieves
I pray for the preachers
For the saints and the sinners
And the friends and the enemies

When I lay my head to sleep
I pray for everyone in the world
For the hopeless and the brokenhearted
All the people in the world
People in the world
All the mothers and the fathers
And the sons and the daughters in the world

Some of them have names
Others have none
Some of them are native
Others are just there for fun
Some of them are thick
Some are pencil thin
And if you listen closely
You can hear them whispering

Did you think it was too much when I put my hands together
And said I wanted to pray for all the plants in the world
Was it too strange for me to say that
I wanted to pray for all the plants in the world

I pray that the Earth heals
From the wounds that we have left
From the concrete and the steel
From the roads and from the death

What you give
You get
The better I do
The better we do
The better we do
The better we get
The more that I pray that the Earth heals
The better I get
What you give
You get

What would it take for us to learn
What would it take for us to change
For us to be human again
Human again
For us to be human again
Human again
