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 While waiting for the hand of fate to still the waters Heal all the broken hearts And hope it could 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 And now I feel all I can do is not enough My Rome is burning and I'm standing at the deep abyss But every pa**ion 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 it's not just me anymore 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 Burn my wasted pride Open your heart to this There's a voice that's crying somewhere Deep inside my soul for shelter 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 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... Now I send a Prayer to heaven...
