[Verse 1]
When you close your eyes to sleep
Pray for peace
And for the ones who've given up
Pray for love
Pray each life will lead the way with kindness
Pray that truth and beauty remain timeless
Pray for dreams to fly high on shattered wings
Pray for hearts, broken, strong or weak
Let us think before we speak
And pray for peace

[Verse 2]
To forgive and then forget
Pray for that
Let no soul must walk alone
Pray for hope
Pray for time, let music play forevеr
In a song that brings the world together
For our childrеn, can we please
Pray for peace

[Bridge]
Reach for my hand and open heart
There's no need for us to stand so far apart
Our God on high hears every word
And every mother's child holds the same worth
Now I close my eyes to sleep
And pray for peace

[Verse 3]
For the souls trapped by the night
Pray for light
And choosing love to conquer hate
Pray for faith
May we feel compassion as one heart now
Unholy wars must end before they start now
Pray for trust and grace for all of us
And pray to Him, hurting broken wills
Pray for smiles on every child
And pray for peace

[Outro]
Let it start with me
And pray for peace
Pray for peace, mmm
