The Brilliance Hear Our Prayer Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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?

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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?

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
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?
