From the recording It All Falls Away
Lyrics
WHEN YOU DON’T HAVE A PRAYER
Sometimes, when you don’t have a prayer
Then a song will have to do
Well, here it is
This is your song
Let it be a prayer for you
You’re out of luck
You’re out of hope
Your back’s to the wall
All of the clichés hold true
You’ve given up
You’ve broken down
You can’t go on
Seems there’s nothing left to do
Just remember that hope
Can catch you unaware
The verse will come round
The song starts again
There’s a still place in the wind
Sometimes, when you don’t have a prayer
Then a song will have to do
Well, here it is
This is your song
Let it be a prayer for you
Let me be your Sabbath
You can rest in me
I’ll be the candle that glows from the inside
The first glimmer that you see
I’ll be the face that waits in the window
The first star you wish on at night
I’ll be the one you carry with you
The whisper “it’ll be all right”
Sometimes, when you don’t have a prayer
Then a song will have to do
Well, here it is
Here is your song
Let it be a prayer for you
Just remember that hope
Can catch you unaware
The verse will come round
The song starts again
There’s a still place in the wind
Because sometimes, when you don’t have a prayer
Then a song will get you through
Well, here I am
I am your song
Let me be a prayer for you
Let me be your Sabbath
