Prayer for Peace Lyrics

we got something, don't you know that it's true?
we got something, don't you feel it too?
we got something, we got something to do

not a mushy line that i'm pushing on you
just another blue-note sung slightly out of tune
we got something, we got something to do

prayer for peace,
prayer for peace
prayer and for peace

it may appear that we've been sleeping through our years
and we've been living in an imaginary world
but we know what we know, we know what we got

and if the choice was yours
of love eternally or
destruction of the world, by some atomic energy
then you'd know what
you know what we got

prayer for peace, prayer for peace
prayer for peace. prayer and for peace
prayer for peace, prayer for peace
prayer and for peace

we got got got,
we got got got,
we got, we got something
we got we got got got,
we got got got, we got, we got something

prayer for peace, prayer for peace, prayer and for peace
prayer for peace, prayer for peace, prayer and for peace
prayer for peace, prayer for peace, prayer and for peace

The Day the World Turned Day-Glo

we got something, don't you know that it's true? 
we got something, don't you feel it too? 
we got something, we got something to do

not a mushy line that i'm pushing on you 
just another blue-note sung slightly out of tune 
we got something, we got something to do

prayer for peace, 
prayer for peace 
prayer and for peace

it may appear that we've been sleeping through our years 
and we've been living in an imaginary world 
but we know what we know, we know what we got

and if the choice was yours 
of love eternally or 
destruction of the world, by some atomic energy 
then you'd know what 
you know what we got

prayer for peace, prayer for peace 
prayer for peace. prayer and for peace
prayer for peace, prayer for peace 
prayer and for peace

we got got got,
we got got got, 
we got, we got something 
we got we got got got, 
we got got got, we got, we got something

prayer for peace, prayer for peace, prayer and for peace
prayer for peace, prayer for peace, prayer and for peace
prayer for peace, prayer for peace, prayer and for peace

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
