Pray For Peace

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Yeah

(Yeah)

Chorus

I pray for peace on every block tonight

I pray for peace

Watch the kids ride bikes instead of running from the light

I pray for peace

No more mothers waiting up on bad news

No more

Tell me what a bullet ever really proves

I pray for peace

Verse 1

Mama raised me gentle in a loud city

Every corner got a story it won't tell

I seen brothers trade their futures for a quick name

Now their faces live on posters by the rail

I ain't here to judge a single soul

I just want my little cousin growing old

Put the flags down let the sirens go to sleep

We can build a block where nobody gotta weep

Pre-Chorus

So I'm calling out

Can you hear me now

Every voice around

Chorus

I pray for peace on every block tonight

I pray for peace

Watch the kids ride bikes instead of running from the light

I pray for peace

No more mothers waiting up on bad news

No more

Tell me what a bullet ever really proves

I pray for peace

Verse 2

I grew up where the cold wind cuts through coats

Where a dream costs more than anybody knows

But I still believe in something soft and slow

Hands together never letting go

I've seen strangers turn to family in a minute

Seen a whole block heal the second they commit it

So I'm asking every soul to hold the line

Peace ain't weak it's the bravest thing alive

Pre-Chorus

So I'm calling out

Can you hear me now

Every voice around

Chorus

I pray for peace on every block tonight

I pray for peace

Watch the kids ride bikes instead of running from the light

I pray for peace

No more mothers waiting up on bad news

No more

Tell me what a bullet ever really proves

I pray for peace

Bridge

(Say it with me)

Peace

(Say it louder)

Peace

(For the babies)

Peace

(For the block)

Peace

Chorus

I pray for peace on every block tonight

I pray for peace

Watch the kids ride bikes instead of running from the light

I pray for peace

No more mothers waiting up on bad news

No more

Tell me what a bullet ever really proves

I pray for peace

Outro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Peace
