One, two! There's so much evil all around us It's bound to shake our confidence We're headed nowhere down the wrong road In a world that don't make sense We've got pistols on the playground Our children's innocence is lost When daddies leave, our families break down We're gonna pay a heavy cost So pray hard, pray hard Like you never have before Pray hard, pray hard Keep knocking on that door 'Cause God is always listening We've got to stand on guard And pray hard Pray We have tried to stop the bleeding By taking matters in our hands But look around, we're not succeeding How much more can we stand The time has come to rearrange it
The only answer to be found Is to pray that God will change it And take it kneeling down So pray hard, pray hard Like you never have before Pray hard, pray hard Keep knocking on that door 'Cause God is always listening We've got to stand on guard And pray hard Moses prayed and Pharaoh had To set the people free Joshua prayed the walls down And it's time for you and me So pray hard, pray hard Like you never have before Pray hard, pray so hard Keep knocking on that door 'Cause God is always listening We've got to stand on guard And pray hard Pray hard We gotta pray real hard Keep praying, mm-hmm
