Oh, Lord above, father's killed a man Let somebody take the blame Oh, Lord above, found knelling down My prayer take away this pain going up in here I'm prayin', oh, Lord, I'm prayin' to you Take away this guilt all up in my head I'm pleading, oh, Lord I'm pleading with you Got some dealings to do, before the day I'm dead He came for me, just like I knew he would But this time I was ready, and I killed him good But he weren't wrong, there was one more left He took my weapon from me, put it to the test That's when this angel appeared out of the dark With the devil in his eyes, but God in his heart He slayed me down, saved me from a sudden death But I've still done wrong, so now I'm prayin', oh, Lord I'm prayin' to you Take away this guilt all up in my head I'm pleading, oh, Lord I'm pleading with you Got some dealings to do, before the day I'm dead So there we are, an angel and a man Both just standing there, with blood on our hands What we gonna to do now, this what I thought But before I could say it, the angel talked He said I'm in here for love, anyway You're only in here for five, I'll take the blame So go run now, don't feel ashamed But oh Lord, I do, that's why I'm prayin' I'm prayin', oh, Lord, I'm prayin' to you Save me from these sins weighing down on my soul I'm pleading, oh, Lord I'm pleading with you Got some healing to do, inside I'm feeling love I'm prayin', oh, Lord I'm prayin' to you Take away this guilt all up in my head I'm pleading, oh, Lord I'm pleading with you We got some dealings to do, before the day I'm dead I'm prayin', oh, Lord, I'm prayin' to you Save me from these sins weighing down on my soul I'm pleading, oh, Lord, I'm pleading with you Got some healing to do, inside I'm feeling love

By michael mcdonald Why do we look so hard? Why do we ask so much? In this world, it's sad in a way How time unblesses love, and faith is lost There's no more prayin' for saving grace to find us No more waiting for conscience to remind us There are few things meaningless as words At the point of no return Why do we want so much? Can we be satisfied? In this life how many times Can we pass the promised land, forever lost? There's no more prayin' for saving grace to find us No more waiting for conscience to remind us There are few things meaningless as words At the point of no return We are lost between faith and hope Between heart and mind, between love and pride Eventually, the day will come When lies won't buy time Tears won't bring hope When there's no more prayin'¡ Nowhere to run or do what we've done before There are few things meaningless as words At the point of no return We are lost between faith and hope Between heart and mind, between love and pride

Somebody's prayin, I can feel it Somebody's prayin' for me Mighty hands are guiding me To protect what I can't see Lord I believe, Lord I believe That somebody's prayin', for me. Angels are watchin', I can feel it Angels are watchin' over me There's many miles ahead 'til I get home Still I'm safely kept before your thrown 'Cause Lord I believe, Lord I believe Your angels are watchin' over me. Well, I've walked through barren wilderness When my pillow was a stone And I've been through the darkest caverns Where no light had ever shown. Still I went on 'cause there was someone Who was down on their knees And Lord. I thank you for those people Prayin' all this time for me. Somebody's prayin', I can feel it Somebody's prayin' for me Mighty hands are guiding me To protect me from what I can't see Lord I believe, Lord I believe Somebod's prayin' for me...

When the sun goes down On my side of town That lonesome feeling Comes through my door The whole world turns blue There's a rundown bar Cross the railroad tracks I've got a table for two Way in the back Where I sit alone Think of losing you I spend most every night Beneath the light Of a neon moon If you lose your one and only There's always room here for the lonely Come watch your broken dreams Dance in and out of the beams Of a neon moon I think of two young lovers Running wild and free I close my eyes And sometimes see You in the shadows Of this smoke-filled room No telling how many tears I've sat here and cried Or how many lies That I've lied Telling my poor heart She'll come back someday Oh, but I'll be alright As long as there's light From a neon moon Oh, if you lose your one and only There's always room here for The lonely To watch your broken dreams Dance in and out of the beams Of a neon moon The jukebox plays on Drink by drink And the words of every sad song Seem to say what I think And this hurt inside of me Ain't never gonna end Oh, but I'll be alright As long as there's light From a neon moon Oh, if you lose your one and only There's always room here for the lonely Come watch your broken dreams Dance in and out of the beams Of a neon moon Come watch your broken dreams Dance in and out of the beams Of a neon moon Come watch your broken dreams Dance in and out of the beams Of a neon moon
