Lyrics Hear Our Prayer - The Brilliance

Hear Our Prayer

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?
