Pray all night to save the world.
Pray all night to save the world.
You can live your life, dreaming of paradise.
Thinking your safe with God on your side.
Better open your eyes, better open your mind,
Better open your door and take a look outside.
Pray all night to save the world.
Pray all night to save the world.

People dying out on the streets,
Children crying, without enough to eat.
Rainforest’s going and it can’t be saved,
Another Aids patient makes the grave.
Thugs and drugs and guns galore.
Middle East countries are back at war.
Churches burning from racial crimes.
Genocide right before our eyes.

Now you realize, and it’s no more surprise,
The more that you trust, the more you hear lies.
Better fall to your knees,
Better look to the skies.
Pray all night to save the world.
Pray all night to save the world.

It’s such a heavy cross to bear.
Such a heavy cross to bear.

This is, unfortunately, all too true. Let your words go out unto the land and let them hear!!!!

Bravo!!! I enjoyed the message as well as the poem itself.

Really powerful message Ron, So many people sit on the front row of the church LOOKING so good on the outside, saying all the right words, dressed to the nines, yet blind to the suffering around them, at least that's what I got from it. I Really liked this poem!
