I Say Amen

What would it take to get you to break the silence And answer the cries of the people who would be free When I say amen will you put an end to the violence Or could you calm the war inside of me If prayer is a weapon I pray this war will cease If prayer is a weapon I wield it now for peace For the innocent the benevolent the children who just want to live in a world where they can breathe again If prayer is a weapon I say amen amen amen I say amen amen amen Protect the defenseless and stop all this senseless fighting Give hope to the people shield us from evil and win Bring us together when everyone else is dividing Make us the change that we need in the world again If prayer is a weapon I pray this war will cease If prayer is a weapon I wield it now for peace For the innocent the benevolent the children who just want to live in a world where they can breathe again If prayer is a weapon I say amen amen amen I say amen amen amen
