CYNDI LAUPER - Say A Prayer lyrics

Far too soon under the scarlet moon ...

Under the scarlet moon ...

Say a prayer ...

So, what are you weaving there marionette

Keepin' your balance by a single thread ...

Keepin' your heart strings tight and pure

All you can muster and nothing more and nothing more

Until you're sore and still you're sore when do you soar ...

Sometimes justice is the line you walk or sign,

But justice is complex and a matter of time

Sometimes it's hanging in the balance or

Dancing in the shadow like a silhouette

So what are you weaving there marionnette ...

So what are you weaving there marionnette ...

Say a prayer for all the souls in bloom cut down

Far too soon under the scarlet moon

Say a prayer, go on say a prayer ...

Some people get a sadness so long

They just go on thinking it's a natural thing

Some people throw their hands in the sky

And they wonder why god don't reply

Well it's strange, strange time all our friends

Dropping like flies everything that's come to pass

All the time we thought would last.

Well I'll just button my coat and cover my neck

I got barely enough time to catch my breath ...

All these pictures I can't forget ...

It can fill your cup with regret ...

It can fill your cup with regret

Say a prayer, for all the souls in bloom ...

Say a prayer... Say a prayer
