Paul Kelly - Be Careful What You Pray For lyrics

All the kings and queens in the bible They could not turn back time So what chance have I of a miracle In this life of mine? I only want one day To unsay the things I said Undo the thing I did Twenty-four little hours Oh God, please wipe them all away And I promise I will change If I could start today again I know I'm not the milk and honey kind Today I proved it true When the red mist falls around my eyes I know not what I do Please give me back today And I won't say the things I said Or do that thing I did Every minute, every hour The replay's just the same And I can't stand the shame Oh let me start today again I only want one day One lousy day, that's all Of every day that's been before Since time began I know my prayer's in vain But for a second I'll pretend That I can start today again
