Flying away on a wing and a prayer
Who could it be?
Believe it or not it's just me.

Well, they showed you a statue,
told you to pray,
they built you a temple and locked you away,

Before I put on my makeup
I say a little prayer for you

He closed his eyes folded his little hands
And spoke to God like he was talking to a friend
And I said son now where'd you learn to pray like that?

Lord, won't you help me?
It's that time of year
Summer has come and gone
Thanksgiving is here
In this season of food
Won't you show that you care?
Oh, Lord, won't you hear
This dieter's prayer?

(Amanda McBroom)

Whisper a little prayer for me my baby

Day by day
Day by day
Oh, dear Lord,
Three things I pray:
To see thee more clearly
Love thee more dearly
Follow thee more nearly
Day by day.

(Stephen Schwartz, from "Godspell")

Pray for me and I'll pray for you
Pray that we will keep the common ground
Won't you pray for me and I'll pray for you
And someday love will bring us back around again

Oh Oh living on a prayer

They call you lady luck
But there is room for doubt
At times you have a very unlady-like
Way of running out
You're on a date with me
The pickins' have been lush
And yet before this evening is over
You might give me the brush
You might forget your manners
You might refuse to stay
And so the best that I can do is pray

(Frank Loesser, "Luck be a Lady Tonight", from "Guys and Dolls")

Sandra Dodd said...

Then I get on my knees and pray
We won't get fooled again

I got plenty o' nuttin
And nuttin's plenty for me
I got the sun, got the moon,
Got the deep blue sea
Folks with plenty o' plenty
Get to pray all the day, hey
Seems with plenty
You got to worry
How to keep the Devil away

(G. Gershwin/I. Gershwin, from "Porgy & Bess")

Shanona Ryder said...

But say a prayer
pray for the other ones
at Christmas time
it's hard
but when you're having fun...

---Band Aid

Sweet hour of prayer,

They mooed their last moos,
They chewed their last hay.
