The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

This is a prayer for everybody

In the world

'Cause I need you and you need me

We need each other

This is a prayer for everybody

In the world

A prayer for you

A prayer for me

A prayer for love and harmony

A prayer for light for all to see

A prayer that someday we'll all be free

'Cause...

There's a lot that's wrong

We must be strong

And not become bitter

If there's a chance

That mankind will profit

Why should we scoff at something new

Or old - if it can make us better?

This is a prayer for everybody

In the world

'Cause without you

And without me

Without love and harmony

Without courage and dignity

What would it mean

To be free?
