Every child deserves love
A safe place to run and play
Every man deserves a chance

To bring home a decent pay
Every race is equal
Beloved in God's eyes

When I see discrimination my soul cries
Say a prayer for the lonely
A prayer for the confused

Say a prayer if you'd only
For the secretly abused
Say a prayer for the newborn

With all the battles to be won
Say a prayer for the tired and worn
Say a prayer for everyone


Walk a mile with a stranger
Put yourself in his shoes

Lend a hand to an old one
Good will come to you
In our heads were happy

We go our merry way
In our hearts were all afraid of our dying day


Every child deserves love
A safe place to run and play
Every woman deserves a chance

To bring home a decent pay
