Say a prayer

It's easy or so it sometimes seems
To believe that when you chase your dreams
If you feel the fire play it once or twice
You never chase your tail on the road to paradise

Then you see it doesn't mean a thing

So you say a prayer to miss an early grave
Oh you say a prayer like someone who's a slave
Yeah you say a prayer till midnight turns to day
Oh you say a prayer and try and make your way

Next time you don't know what to do
When everything begins to come unglued
If your situation is more than you can bear
Make your destination to the Lord in prayer

When you share with him all your cares
You'll know he's listening, you'll know he cares

And you say a prayer all your snares will come undone
Oh you say a prayer like a bullet from a gun
Yeah, you say a prayer tellin' all that's on your mind
When you say a prayer, the answer's what you find
