Prayer Lyrics

The song Prayer is performed by Rick Springfield in the album named Karma in the year 1999 .



In my perfect world
There's no need to right the wronged
Laid down my burden
I know I did not carry the weight

Not sure to who responsibility belonged
I turned a blind eye while waiting for the hand of fate
To still the waters, heal all the broken hearts
And hope it could be done without a sacrifice
And maybe I just wouldn't pay the price
I've fought this long enough

Now I send the prayer to heaven for the chance to be
A better man than the man I see
I send the prayer to heaven, lay your hands on me
I ain't a saint but to this I swear, I send the prayer

And now I feel, all I can do is not enough
My Rome is burning and I'm standing at the deep abyss
But every pa*sion started with an act of love
And every act of love started with a single kiss

Father, father, your gift was my world of light
And I've betrayed you with a single Judas kiss
I've been my own executioner
But it's not just me anymore

Now I send the prayer to heaven for the chance to be
A better man than the man I see
I send the prayer to heaven, lay your hands on me
I ain't a saint but to this I swear

Burn my wasted pride
Open your heart to this
There's a voice that's crying somewhere
Deep inside my soul for shelter

Now I send the prayer to heaven for the chance to be
A better man than the man I see
I send the prayer to heaven, lay your hands on me
I ain't a saint but to this I swear

Now I send the prayer to heaven for the chance to be
A better man than the man I see
I send the prayer to heaven, lay your hands on me
I ain't a saint but to this I swear

Now I send the prayer to heaven
I send the prayer to heaven
Now I send the prayer to heaven
