For Prayer Lyrics

All this dirt is my disease
Please, Please

Wanted hands but I got knees
You drop by to help me out
Out, Out
Baby, what's all this about?

Your thoughts are better than your words
I wanted bees but I got bird
There's no room and there's not time
So you scratch yours and I'll scratch mine


It’s into winter, but it’s hot
I guess I do believe in God
But I'll forgive and make it right
If it freezes up tonight


So cross your fingers say a prayer
You don't believe but I don't care
You either win it or you don't
It happens now, unless it won't

Cross your fingers, say a prayer
You don't believe but I don't care
You either win it or you don't
It happens now, unless it won't

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
