Say a prayer for the lonely
Say a prayer for the weak
I'm feeling too mean to believe
So if you think of it pray for me
If you see my lady
Tell her she means the world to me
I'm too tired most nights to love these days
But sometimes I still dream
Sometimes I still dream
The world is obsessed with the running of this hi-tech tragedy
And everyone thinks there's still a right and wrong side
While all of the mothers weep
While all of the mothers weep
I saw Jesus walking downtown
I saw Jesus running crack
He stopped to wash the blood off the face of his friend
And then he turned back
It's raining tonight and its cold out there
And there are bodies on the steps at St. James
They don't move them away from the doors down there
But they don't let them in
They don't let them in
And the powers that be keep fighting for the free and the economy
Saying a margin of poor is a sign of health
While all the mothers weep
While all the mothers weep
Hear a voice from Ramah weeping for her children
Say a prayer for the lonely
Say a prayer for the weak
I'm feeling to mean to believe
So if you think of it pray for me
