"Prayer" lyrics
"Prayer"
When the morning light
Tries to hold you tight
You snuggle down inside
But when the day insists
There's no use to resist
Just open up and pray
That every move you make
And every breath you take
And every word you say
Will help the ones you love
And those you don't think of
And those who turn away
And if there is a God
And us he's thinking of
Well, don't forget to say
That wives and mothers cry
To see their babies die
It happens every day
So God in heaven above
What are you thinking of
Is this the way you play
Well, can't you hear them weep
Now children mind your feet
Maybe God has gone to sleep

Cat Stevens - "If I Laugh" If I laugh just a little bit
Maybe I can forget the chance
That I didn't have to know you

Maybe I can forget the plans that
I didn't use to...
Todd Rundgren - "Be Nice To Me" No catch, no strings
None of the usual things
I'm happy just to lay and look
Let's throw out the book
Now we're off the hook
And please just be nice to me
Won't you be nice to me
So tired, so sad
So...
Jackson C. Frank - "You Never Wanted Me" Wondering and waiting
My back against the wall
Not a word that passed between us
Comes to call
Just your shadow on the window
And your step on down the hall
You never wanted me, babe
You never knew...
Joan Baez - "There But For Fortune" Show me the prison, show me the jail
Show me the prisoner, whose life has gone stale
And I'll show you a young man
With so many reasons why
And there but for fortune, go you or I......mm, mm
Show me...
