Hear Our Prayer - The Brilliance

Systems of oppression fueled by hate

Held up by a lie we can’t escape

Humanity, a history of tragedy

Does it have to be the future of us all?

Hear our prayer

Hear your people

Turn our hearts to you

Make us whole again

Hear our prayer

Hear your people

Turn our hearts to you

Make us one

Violence, power, struggle, fear, and shame

Will the story always be the same?

Can we ever be the people we are meant to be?

Does it have to be the future of us all?

Hear our prayer

Hear your people

Turn our hearts to you

Make us whole again

Hear our prayer

Hear your people

Turn our hearts to you

Make us one

Open our hearts

So love can start

To heal the pain

Open our hearts

So love can start

To heal the pain

Love shall overcome

Love shall overcome

Love shall overcome

Love shall overcome

Love shall overcome

Love shall overcome

Love shall overcome

Love shall overcome

Oh my God

What have we done?

What have we become?

These seeds were sown

They were sown in ages past

Now we’re reaping them in full

How can we fix this?

Learn from our mistake

How can we fix this?

Or is the mess too great?
