Well, my friend
I wear myself in a different way
Excuse me for whom I may follow
Keep it to myself
You think you’re cleansed from what you preach
Well, that’s not for me
These threads of black that I may wear
You say it’s wrong of me

Chorus 1:
If God makes it work for you
If God takes it all from you
If God makes a prayer come true
Whatever works for you may not work for me

Oh my Lord, I sing my prayer
In my own way (my own way)
If I can't be myself
What use am I anyway?

Chorus 2:
If God makes it work for you
If God takes it all from you
If God makes a prayer come true
Whatever works for you may not work for me

Chorus:
If God makes it work for you
If God takes it all from you
If God makes a prayer come true
Whatever works for you may not work for me...

Chorus 3:
If God makes
If God takes it all from you
If God makes a prayer come true
Whatever works for you may not work for me
May work for you
May not work for me
May work for you
My prayer
