(Rob Crosby/Allen Shamblin)
He had a bottle in his left hand an old Bible in his right
I thought now there`s a sinner when he asked me for a light
He hit me for a dollar I just turned and walked away
I was feeling high and mighty when I heard him say
Pray for me
Pray for me
Pray for me and I will pray for you
I thought who is he to pray for me as I hit my power lock
And then the weight of my hypocracy fell on me like a rock
I caught him at the corner and I give him my last 10
I say please forgive me brother and until we meet again
Pray for me
Pray for me
Pray for me and I will pray for you
You know each of us is broken somewhere deep inside
And we`re really not that different when you strip away the pride
We`ve all got our struggles and chains that we can`t break
And you never know the difference on simple prayer can make
I stood there on the corner and I wached him drifting off
As the sun behind St. Mary`s made the shadow of a cross
On a street of busy people and places on the run
I felt like calling out to each and every one
Pray for me
Pray for me
Pray for me and I will pray for you
Pray for me
Pray for me
Pray for me and I will pray for you
Pray for me
Pray for me
