Lyrics
SAY A PRAYER
Words and Music by James Keith Norman
VERSE #1:
Mother and child, they wake up hungry.
Can’t be sure if a meal will be theirs.
A charity stands ready to rush to them
but will there be food to share?
CHORUS:
Say a prayer for the broken and fallen.
Pray for those who desperately wait.
Say a prayer for heroes who help and
pray they’re not too late.
Say a prayer.
VERSE #2:
A young man sleeps, heart barely beating.
Hope all but gone for a new gift of life.
Then, far away, another heart is found but
will it reach him in time?
CHORUS:
Say a prayer for the broken and fallen.
Pray for those who desperately wait.
Say a prayer for heroes who help and
pray they’re not too late.
Say a prayer.
VERSE #3:
Winds like war attack the coastline,
rip apart fragile homes and lives.
Hours pass. Frantic cries ring out:
“Oh, God, how will we survive?”
CHORUS:
Say a prayer for the broken and fallen.
Pray for those who desperately wait.
Say a prayer for heroes who help, and
pray they’re not too late.
Say a prayer.
