Say A Prayer Lyrics

Is this what you wanted?
Nobody won
And everything broken
Before it even begun

Is this what your dreams held
When you first held me?
Did somebody tell you
What a little child needs?

But somebody say a prayer for me
Wish I'd do better than anyone here
Wish I'd make something out of life
Wish I'd make somebody proud

Why can't I go now
And never look back?
Do you suddenly need me
To keep your life on track?
You've done nothing, nothing,
Nothing worth anything right
Holding me down in your shadow,
Keeping me away from the light

And someone who'd say a prayer for me
Someone who knows how to get out of here
Someone who'd gladly step aside
To let me have some kind of life

Is this what you wanted,
Oh, mother of mine?
Did you ever listen
When your little baby cried?

Somebody say a prayer for me
Wish I'd do better than anyone here
Wish I'd make something out of life
Wish I'd make somebody proud

Is this what you wanted,
Oh, mother of mine?
Did you ever listen
When your little baby cried?
