[Chorus]
I hope it won't be this way
I hope it won't be this way
I hope it won't be this way always
I hope it won't be this way
I'm praying for a brighter day
I hope it won't be this way always

[Verse 1]
Make this world a better place
The way you want it to be
Every woman and man, boy and girl
Will know we're one with thee

[Chorus]
I hope it won't be this way
I hope it won't be this way
I hope it won't be this way always
I hope it won't be this way
I'm praying for a brighter day
I hope it won't be this way always

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Heed us of all our trouble
Take our loved ones home
Give us pride tomorrow
And never, nevеr leave us alone
[Chorus]
I hopе it won't be this way
I hope it won't be this way
I hope it won't be this way always
Well, I hope it won't be this way
I'm praying for a brighter day
I hope it won't be this way always

[Outro]
Well, I know it won't be this way
I know it won't be this way
I know it won't be this way always
I know it won't be this way
I'm searching for a brighter day
I know it won't be this way always
