It's easy, or sometimes seens
To believe that when you chase your dreams
If you feel the fire, play it once or twice
You never chase your tail on the road to paradise

(pre-chorus)
Then you see it doesn't mean a thing

(chorus 1)
So you say a prayer to miss an early grave
Oh you say a prayer, like someone who's a slave
Yeah, you say a prayer, 'til midnight turns to day
Oh, you say a prayer and try and make your way

Next time you don't know what to do
When everyting begins to come unglued
If your situation is more than you can bear
Make your destination to the Lord in prayer

(pre-chorus)

When you share with Him all your cares
You know He's listenin'
You know He's there

(chorus 2) And you say a prayer, all your snares will come undone
Oh, you say a prayer, like a bullet from a gun
Yeah, you say a prayer, telling all that's on your mind
When you say a prayer, the ansers that you'll find

(bridge)
"Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray the Lord my soul to Keep
And if I should be died before I wake
Pray the Lord my soul to take"

(chorus 1)
(chorus 2)
