A child was born
like his mother died,
a taxi straight to hell.
We know the end
of this sad fairy tale,
oh, God we know so well.
Another pain,
but a fire's still burnin',
burnin' on and on...
Alone again
while an angel's dancin'
to the rhythm of the song.

Wait for a miracle (they say)
It's unbelievable.
You've got to say your prayers tonight.
Wait for a miracle (they say)
Something so physical.
And now it's time to do it right.

His father's died
and his sister's nude
on his old friend's bed
I wonder why
he cannot cry
oh, Lord don't make him beg

Chorus

I've seen misery and pain
I've seen the sunshine after rain
but comes a time, a man has to fight
Fight for your rights
Reach for the sky
Say your prayers, say your prayers
Say your prayers tonight...

Chorus
