Old Man Wizard - I Prayed Lyrics

I prayed for hope and life unchanged
And God seems quite deranged
But that doesn't matter
I prayed for happiness and health
But God seeks endless wealth
And that doesn't matter
Pray that all the world starts to understand
Pray instead of thinking, hand in hand
Pray away the suffering, the hunger, and the fear
It disappears
When I pray for blessings heaven-sent
But God is not your friend
And that's all that matters
I prayed for love and world peace
But war defends beliefs
In things that don't matter
Pray that all the world starts to understand
Pray instead of thinking, hand in hand
Pray away the suffering, the hunger, and the fear
It disappears when I pray
Pray that all the world starts to understand
Pray instead of thinking, hand in hand
Pray away the suffering, the hunger, and the fear
It disappears!
Maybe it's the world, that's what the prophets said
Maybe it's just me, it's all inside my head
And then maybe it's you, doing what they told you to!
Did you pray!?
I prayed, too

I prayed for hope and life unchanged
And God seems quite deranged
But that doesn't matter
I prayed for happiness and health
But God seeks endless wealth
And that doesn't matter
Pray that all the world starts to understand
Pray instead of thinking, hand in hand
Pray away the suffering, the hunger, and the fear
It disappears
When I pray for blessings heaven-sent
But God is not your friend
And that's all that matters
I prayed for love and world peace
But war defends beliefs
In things that don't matter
Pray that all the world starts to understand
Pray instead of thinking, hand in hand
Pray away the suffering, the hunger, and the fear
It disappears when I pray
Pray that all the world starts to understand
Pray instead of thinking, hand in hand
Pray away the suffering, the hunger, and the fear
It disappears!
Maybe it's the world, that's what the prophets said
Maybe it's just me, it's all inside my head
And then maybe it's you, doing what they told you to!
Did you pray!?
I prayed, too
