Pray
DJ Bobo · Other Songs - DJ Bobo
Stand up for the rules and pray
Refrain:
We can make it a better place
When we pray for freedom
It doesnÂ’t matter what kind of race
When we pray for freedom
So letÂ’s live for the promised land
Living in harmony
So letÂ’s live with a helping hand
Dreams of a new generation
And we pray
1.
What has happened to paradise
In motion or paralysed
Isolation, immigration
Frustration all over the nation
WeÂ’ve been waisting most of our time
just talking about things and thatÂ’s no sign
Recognize - the advice
It is more than only an exercise
Remember of the world so far away
Where people stay and pray every day
They have their hopes they have their chance
They pray for peace and tolerance
Remember of past time paradise
A system without any compromise
Let me say, we can find a way
Stand up for the rules and pray
2.
What has happened to paradise
Is it turned into a world of sorrow and lies
So many people donÂ’t care about rules
Honest people seem to be the fools
Time to wise up, time to rise up
Open your eyes up,- to the top
Hold a dream against the wind
Close your eyes and let it in
IÂ’ve heard of a world so far away
Where people stay and pray every day
They have no god, no sovereign
They pray for their rules and so they win
Remember of pastime paradise
WeÂ’ve been living in, no compromise
Let me say, we can find a way
Stand up for the rules and pray
