Pray But Work
pray but work
send the large crowd home
cos they need to work
the temple is not a company
cos no factory is built in one
so set the people free
teach them how to feed
for themselves
teach them that heaven
help those who help themselves
the world is growing
the world is developing
they never achieve that from
the temple were only a particular
book is taught
with out no change
so send the large crowd home
let them
pray but work
pray but work
send the large crowd home
close the temple doors
oh you temple door man
cos is time to work
the land is rich
the tools needs hands
our market needs our local product
we can enrich our life's
by our effort
remember that is not
done in the temple
that is not achieved by
reading and quoting a
particular book everyday
remember heaven
help those who help
themselves
so send the large crowd home
teach them how to
pray but work
pray but work
send the large crowd home
cos they are also useful
to their communities
their families need to feed
their bills are not paid by a book
they got problems
that why they are hungry for
miracle
cos they got no hope left
after life has tortured their
future through a deceitful
leaders who never care about
this very confused victims
singing and praying
in large numbers hoping
on God
what else can they do
like always they say
is true job are difficult
in our dear third world
yet you can't find one
either in the temple
so send the large crowd home
teach them how to feed
for themselves
teach them how to
pray but work
pray but work
send the large crowd home
for they got responsibilities
to Carter for
they got issues behind
the temple closed doors
they are victims of
curse they need not suffer for
and they got a lot jobs
to offer to humanity
so while you teach them
to pray
teach them that their is a lot
of job to do in Africa
remember that can't be done
in the temple
remember heaven help those who
help themselves
so send the large crowd home
you priest of God
teach them how to feed
for themselves
teach them how to
pray but work
