These divisions of language nation and race
These attachments to just one people and place
We need to reach out we need to look around
We need to open up there's a whole world to embrace
Don't wanna live by bitter convictions
Don't wanna live with the pain and the lies
I'm prayin' for a world that sees a better day rise
Some people still lookin' for others to blame
Some people still playin' that devil's game
They take their stand in foolish pride
If you wanna be their friend then you gotta be exactly the same
Don't wanna live by bitter convictions
Don't wanna live with the pain and the lies
I'm prayin' for a world that sees a better day rise
Some day this hatred is gonna fade, we're gonna see that
God's people come in every different style and shade
This world's so big and I'm so small
If it wasn't for that, then I'd get to know them all
Don't wanna live by bitter convictions
Don't wanna live with the pain and the lies
I'm prayin' for a world that sees a better day rise
