Curtis Mayfield - A PrayerLyrics

A prayer, just what would I say? Speak of those who?re around Who pray for you everyday Everybody know we are just people In the people's hands Bless the soul of our man That we might understand All of my life I've longed to be close Nearer to someone I thought would need me the most Have no fear, your God is near Just say a little prayer Nothin' beats a failure but I try With this one life to die for I wanna satisfy with love Just what would I do? Allow your mind to improve And keep yourself very, very clear All can be forgiven Now there's still hope for the living Say a little prayer Nothin' beats a failure but I try With this one life to die for I wanna satisfy A prayer, just what would I say? Speak of those who need your love And who pray for you everyday Everybody knows we are just people In the people's hands So keep a little prayer Everybody knows we are just people In the people's hands So say a little prayer (Our Father) Say a little prayer (Who art in Heaven) Say a little prayer (Hallowed be Thy name, in kingdom come) Yeah, yeah (Thy will be done, amen)
