Labi Siffre Prayer Lyrics

When the morning light tries to hold you tight you snuggle down inside

But when the day insists there's no use to resist just open up and pray

That every move you make and every breath you take and every word you say

Will help the ones you love and those you don't think of and those who turn away

And if there is a God and us he's thinking of well, don't forget to say
That wives and mothers cry to see their babies die it happens every day

So God in heaven above what are you thinking of is this the way you play

Well, can't you hear them weep now children mind your feet maybe God has gone to sleep
