The Blind Boys of Alabama - A Prayer lyrics

A prayer Just what would I say Think of those around need you Who pray for you every day Everybody knows We are just people In the people's hands Bless the soul of a man That we might understand All of my life I long to be close Nearer to someone Someone would need me most Yes, say a little prayer Nothing beats a failure but a try With this one life to die I want to satisfy With love Just what would I do Allow your mind to improve And keep yourself very cool All could be forgiven There is hope for the living Say a little prayer Nothing beats a failure but a try With this one life to die I want to satisfy A prayer Just what would I say Think of those who need you Who pray for you every day (Repeat 2X) Everybody knows We are just people In the people's hands Say a little prayer Say a little prayer Say a little prayer Every day
