Album: Peace of Mind<br />

Song: Say a Prayer<br />

(D. Glasper / M. Lillington)<br />

(These lyrics are as they are written on the album sleeve, and may<br />

Vary slightly from those actually sung by David on the tracks)<br />

Verse:<br />

Sweet sugar pumping through my veins<br />

Everywhere is on a wire<br />

Sweet sugar you say it's just a game<br />

Soon to be your one desire<br />

When the devil holds your hand<br />

Then you know he's in command<br />

Of temptation<br />

Like the beauty of a rose<br />

Or a summer that will go<br />

Where's salavation<br />

Chorus:<br />

Say a little prayer, say a little prayer for me<br />

Say a little prayer, say a little prayer for me<br />

Verse:<br />

Sweet sugar your world just tumbles down<br />

How you hunger for illusion<br />

Sweet sugar will take more than you own<br />

All you have is your confusion<br />

You'll be standing in the rain<br />

You'll be crying out in shame<br />

For mercy<br />

So you turn to every man<br />

Say you need a helping hand<br />

Don't desert me<br />

Chorus:<br />

Say a little prayer, say a little prayer for me<br />

Say a little prayer, say a little prayer for me<br />

Say a little prayer, say a little prayer for me<br />

Bridge:<br />

I don't know what I've done with my life<br />

I don't know what to think of all this wasted time<br />

I was in search of paradise<br />

Yet this seems a heavy price to pay<br />

Chorus:<br />

Say a little prayer, say a little prayer for me<br />

Won't you say a prayer<br />

Say a little prayer, say a little prayer for me<br />

Won't you say a prayer<br />

Say a little prayer<br />

Say a little prayer<br />
