(E) I'M PRAYING FOR THE DAY, WHEN THE (A) WHOLE WIDE WORLD CAN SAY,
|
THAT THIS (E) CRUEL WAR IT IS (B7) O'ER,
|
AND THE (E) BOYS WHO ARE GONE, START THEIR (A) LONG JOURNEY HOME,
|
OH I'M (E) PRAYING FOR THE (B7) DAY WHEN PEACE WILL (E) COME.
|
|
WHEN THE BLACK CLOUDS ROLL AWAY, AND THE SKIES ARE BRIGHT AND GAY,
|
AND THE GUNS ARE SILENT ONCE MORE,
|
AND THE BOMBS NO LONGER FLY, FROM THE PLANES UP IN THE SKY,
|
OH I'M PRAYING FOR THE DAY WHEN PEACE WILL COME.
|
|
OH THERE'S MOTHER AND DAD, DON'T YOU KNOW THEY'LL BE SO GLAD,
|
TO SEE THEIR SON'S COMING HOME,
|
THIS OLD WORLD WILL ROCK WITH JOY, FOR THAT FREEDOM LOVING BOY,
|
OH I'M PRAYING FOR THE DAY WHEN PEACE WILL COME.
|
|
SWEETHEARTS AND WIVES SO DEAR, WHO HAVE WAITED FOR THAT YEAR,
|
FOR THEIR LOVED ONES TO RETURN,
|
THIS OLD WORLD WILL BE SO GAY, ON THAT GREAT AND HAPPY DAY,
|
OH I'M PRAYING FOR THE DAY WHEN PEACE WILL COME.
|
