Rick Springfield - Prayer Lyrics
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,
heal all the broken hearts,
and hope it would 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.
My Rome is burning and I'm standing at the deep abyss.
But every passion 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 its not just me anymore.
Burn my wasted pride, open your heart to this,
there's a voice that's crying somewhere,
deep inside my soul for shelter.
