say a prayer, say a prayer for me i'm wanderin' out on the street say a prayer, say a prayer for me i can feel my heart sinkin' deep you can throw me some kind of lifeline but i'm in the dark, and i just want to see so when you go to sleep at night fold your hands and say a prayer for me say a prayer, say a prayer for me i don't need your sympathy say a prayer, say a prayer for me i just want to know what it's like to be free
