[Intro]
Ooh, yeah

[Chorus]
Lord, I pray
That in my lifetime there will come a day
When the world will wake up with unclouded eyes
And there'll be no more need to cry
Won’t you bring that dream to life?

[Verse 1]
Oh Lord, I pray
Deliver us from bigotry and hate
Please give shelter to the wayward children
And comfort them and keep them safe

[Verse 2]
Oh Lord, I pray
For a world with no weapons one day
Please give wisdom to the ones who lead us
Jesus, help them find thеir way

[Bridge]
Oh, I'm praying that the love you shower down on us
Will lift us up and wе will live as one
I know there'll come a day
I know you’ll make a way
Please listen as I pray

[Chorus]
Lord, I pray (Lord, I pray)
That in my lifetime there will come a day
When the world will wake up with unclouded eyes
And there'll be no more need to cry
Won't you bring that dream to life?

[Outro]
Lord, I pray (Lord, I pray)
That in my lifetime there will come a day (There will come a time)
When we all can open up our hearts and minds
And see we're all the same inside
Won't you bring that dream to life?
Won't you bring that dream to life?

Mariah Carey (born March 27, 1970) is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, actress, and philanthropist.

Under the guidance of Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola, Carey released her self-titled debut studio album Mariah Carey in 1990; it went multi-platinum and spawned four consecutive number one singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Following her marriage to Mottola in 1993 and success with hit records “Emotions” (1991), “Music Box” (1993), and “Merry Christmas” (1994), Carey was established as Columbia’s highest-selling act. Daydream (1995) made music history when its second single “One Sweet Day”, a duet with Boyz II Men, spent a record sixteen weeks on top of the Billboard Hot 100, and remains the longest-running number-one song in U.S. chart history, along with Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito.” During the recording of the album, Carey began to deviate from her R&B and pop beginnings and slowly traversed into hip hop. This musical change became evident with the release of Butterfly (1997), at which time Carey had separated from Mottola.
