I remember back years ago I lived my life without too many cares, Y'all And the truth of mine so hard to find was hidden there between So many lies As the shadows roll across my face the light appears and show Another side now Things I shoul know, no one told me, now I must go and I'm Begging U tonight...
Say a prayer for me. Don't know where I'm gonna be, as I go on This journey Say a prayer me, uh, I'll say a prayer U Don't know where I'll end up. As I empty out my cup. So please Say a prayer for me Say a prayer for me and I'll say a prayer for U
Now I lay myself down to sleep I pray my Lord will send me Someone to greet me As the light appears it seems so clear the things I didn't Understand before Now I'm looking over all my years I see now who the angel was Beside me If I hurt U please forgive me. I still need U and I'm begging U Tonight...
Say a prayer for me. Don't know where I'm gonna be, as I go on This journey Say a prayer me, uh, I'll say a prayer U Don't know where I'll end up. As I empty out my cup. So please Say a prayer for me Say a prayer for me and I'll say a prayer for U
Everybody needs a prayer sometimes something to know that U care When I'm Searching so long and hard to find a little bit of piece of Mind On my knees asking please, will U say a prayer for me? Ask and U shall receive. It's hard to live in times like these Fulfilling prophecies, over seas they're living with tragedies It's hard to know what to do, say a prayer for me I'll play my Prayer for U
Say a prayer for me. Don't know where I'm gonna be, as I go on This journey Say a prayer me, uh, I'll say a prayer U Don't know where I'll end up. As I empty out my cup. So please Say a prayer for me Say a prayer for me and I'll say a prayer for U
Just do it Just do it Heeeyyyy Just do it Heeeyyyy
Once upon a time there were some relatives of yours and mine The ancient ones that came before We've done our best to lay them all to rest It's hard to find them anymore (now that's for sure) But sometimes when I close my eyes I see that they're all still alive There're living way down deep inside our hearts Just talkin' to ya, livin' through ya Trying to get us all to do our part (So, when we gonna start?)
Heeeyyyy! We need another point of view just do it like the natives do Heeeyyyy! We need another point of view
I think I'll take a walkabout before the calendar run's out A vision quest to open up our minds The spirits keep in touch with me To let me know we're running out of time (yours and mine) We all say that we're in tune but still we stay bed 'till noon With all we see we still don't do enough Two buildings fall. we're still in bed asleep What does it take to wake us up? (I don't know)
Heeeyyyy! We need another point of view Just do it like the natives do Heeeyyyy! We need another point of view We do, we do
Heeeyyyy! We need another point of view Just do it like the natives do Heeeyyyy! We need another point of view We do, we do Heeeyyyy! We need another point of view Just do it like the natives do Heeeyyyy! We need another point of view We do, we do Heeeyyyy! We need another point of view Just do it like the natives do Heeeyyyy! We need another point of view We do, we do
