Prayer (Light the Dark)
Lord, I don't know my way I have no idea where I'll stay Tonight, tomorrow, the next day I must hang oh God I pray
I sleep in buildings full of rats Abandoned husks, cold as hell Screams and curses in the streets From little girls with bodies to sell
Hear to my voice let it light a spark Give me a chance light up the dark
Day labored for a man who'd bray Every word he had to say Worked me dawn to sun's dying ray Two bucks was all he had to pay
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com He's a king in my pauper's tale He succeeds only if I fail That's how he sees my travail How do I tell him that story's stale
If we live or die in each other's greed Neither of us will succeed If we live and die in each other's grace We meet each man face to face
Don't want your pity, don't want sorrow Just a better tomorrow A job to give us both a piece Of what we all want, the American dream
Don't forget me here in the cold, damp dark. Listen to my voice; let it light a spark. I deserve respect; I can make my mark
