Now look whats happening every day
Crime and violence war in the air
Food can't plant and the kids can't play
Can't get no work can not educate
New world order everyone is hating
So many borders people separating
Where is the love and the unity
War destroy the community

I pray for the world
I pray for the people
I pray for the children
Study no evil

I pray for the world
I pray for the people
I pray for the children
Study no evil

Now they're fighting to rule this world So fast
Every drip of water every blade of glass
System of government made it clear
No love no justice no one care
Every day they're making bombs
Up to no good they're doing wrong
Pain and death they love you not
They're fighting against the poor and I'm not
So many things they never know
Television and the radio
They everything just to get you down
Get up, stand up keep your crown
Babylon ‘birds' set the people free
One day to come we all shall see

I pray for the world
I pray for the people
I pray for the children
Study no evil

I pray for the world
I pray for the people
I pray for the children
Study no evil

I pray for the children
Children don't you study no evil

I pray for the children
Children don't you study no evil

Now look whats happening every day
