Been livin' behind a tune since I don't know when
Always have some song runnin' through my head
Goin' through the motions half the time
Never cared much till I solved the rhyme
Never had much money, didn't care when I did
Made it through by the skin on my fingertips
So, another story's just begun, yeah
I look around when it's all said and done
There's something there
A song and a prayer, yeah
A song and a prayer, yeah
Gonna make it there on a song and a prayer
(Help me)
Oh...
Don't see my reflection in the mirror
Look deeper into the things I do
Don't give a damn about the clothes I wear
If you get caught up in the image
You'll become the one who's dressin' you
Never saw myself as a gamblin' man
But the stakes been runnin' high
This world can bring you to your knees, ah, yes it can
I look around and it's all surroundin' me
There's nothin' there
But a song and a prayer, yeah
A song and a prayer, yeah
Gonna make it there on a song and a prayer
Aw, yeah
Love and money, come and go
So many things out of my control
But listen to the silence, there's somethin' real low
Tryin' to be heard, gotta listen so close
It's a message to someone tryin' to be heard
When it's all said and done
Try to love someone
It's somethin' I know for sure
All I know for sure
Is a song and a prayer, yeah, yeah
A song and a prayer, yeah, yeah
Gonna make it there on a song and a prayer
Hangin' by a thread on a song and a prayer, mmm, yeah
Hangin' on a heartbeat on a song and a prayer, a song
Ow! Song and a prayer, ow!
(Ah, yeah, oh, yeah)
Song...
