Prayer — текст песни (Rick Springfield)

In my perfect world
There`s no need to right the wronged
Laid down my burden
I know I did not carry the weight
Not sure to who responsibility belonged
I turned a blind eye
While waiting for the hand of fate to still the waters
Heal all the broken hearts
And hope it could be done without a sacrifice
And maybe I just wouldn`t pay the price
I`ve fought this long enough

Now I send the Prayer to heaven for the chance to be
A better man than the man I see
I send the Prayer to heaven, lay your hands on me
I ain`t a saint but to this I swear I send the Prayer

And now I feel all I can do is not enough
My Rome is burning and I`m standing at the deep abyss
But every passion started with an act of love
And every act of love, started with a single kiss
Father, father your gift was my world of light
And I`ve betrayed you with a single Judas kiss
I`ve been my own executioner
But it`s not just me anymore

Now I send the Prayer to heaven for the chance to be
A better man than the man I see
I send the Prayer to heaven, lay your hands on me
I ain`t a saint but to this I swear
Burn my wasted pride
Open your heart to this
There`s a voice that`s crying somewhere
Deep inside my soul for shelter

Now I send the Prayer to heaven for the chance to be
A better man than the man I see
I send the Prayer to heaven, lay your hands on me
I ain`t a saint but to this I swear

Now I send the Prayer to heaven for the chance to be
A better man than the man I see
I send the Prayer to heaven, lay your hands on me
I ain`t a saint but to this I swear I send the Prayer...

Now I send a Prayer to heaven...
