"For all those people
still hungry on this day
All those people suffering
their lives away
For all the children
who today we give a toy
but come tomorrow
take away their joy
For those on this day
still in captivity
For the many others
still fighting to be free
So many promises
it seems we cannot keep
To rid this world we share of
its troubles deep
So let's send a prayer to heaven
on this Christmas day
Send a prayer and let
heaven show the way
Send it for the children
send it for the poor
Send it on this Christmas day
and it will last for evermore
All those with voices that
are never heard
Those too afraid to say a loving word
All those whose hearts
are forever filled with fear
For our world that's dying
now show we care
So let's send a prayer to
heaven on this Christmas day
Send a prayer and
let heaven show the way
Send it 'cos we need a helping hand
Send it on this Christmas day
please hand it down to man
'Cos we got a problem
that we cannot heal
Send it to heaven so
His miracle we can reveal
Send a prayer to heaven
send it for what it's worth
Send it on this Christmas day
please hand it down to Earth
Send a prayer to heaven
on this Christmas day
Send a prayer and
let heaven show the way
Send it 'cos we need
help from up above
Send it on this Christmas day
bring us the gift of love
Send a prayer to heaven
on this Christmas day
Send a prayer and
let heaven show the way
Send it 'cos we need help
from up above
Send it on this Christmas day
bring us the gift of love
Send a prayer to heaven
on this Christmas day
Send a prayer and
let heaven show the way
Send it 'cos we need help
from up above
Send it on this Christmas day
