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
