Lord can you help me? Help me deal with this pain And you stop all this killing in your name? And Lord if you're out there You know the whole world is going insane So can you stop all this killing in your name? And down through the ages we've all come to love Wise men leading the way So read all the pages in the books from above But don't get led astray And down through the ages we've all come to love Wise men leading the way So read all the pages in the books from above But don't get led astray, no no no And Lord are you listenin'? To a prayer from a simple man Can you stop all the sadness? Can you stop all of this madness? Can you stop all this killing in your name?
