we can change the world

we can change this world if we pray

yes we can

we can change this old mean world if we pray

yes

now if we'd all bow down on our bended knees

and cry

oh lord

have mercy if you please

now listen if you will

now

if we pray and turn from our wicked ways

if we pray and turn from our wicked ways

god will heal our bodies and save our souls

he will heal our land today

now blessed are they that mourn

i got something i wanna tell you right now

for those of you that don't believe me right now

i've come to tell you that prayer sure do change things

and god can work it out every time

somebody say

how do you know

sister caesar?

one day i was so sick

i got sick of being sick

and it looked like all the doctors' medicine wouldn't do me no good

but i went down a deep ol' valley wherein i told god all about me

and he healed my body that day

yes he did

for those of you right now

that cannot see your way

for those of you that's been sick for so long

we change this world if we pray

now

that's all you've got to do

we can change this world if we pray

if we'd all go down

bow down on our bended knees

and cry

lord

have mercy if you please

now

i've got one more thing i got to tell you and then i'll be through

it looks like everywhere men and women are haters of one another

but the bible said if my people that are called by my name

would humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from your wicked ways

i heard him said

i'll heal your land

when we think about this land that we're living in right now

look ahere look ayonder

looks like everywhere our children are dying

and our mothers and fathers are crying

seems like satan has the upper hand

but god is still in command and we can change this world if we pray

we can change this world if we pray

we can change this world if we pray
