A Prayer Lyrics


A prayer, just what would I say?
Speak of those who?re around
Who pray for you everydayEverybody know we are just people
In the people's hands
Bless the soul of our man
That we might understandAll of my life
I've longed to be close
Nearer to someone
I thought would need me the mostHave no fear, your God is near
Just say a little prayerNothin' beats a failure but I try
With this one life to die for
I wanna satisfy with loveJust what would I do?
Allow your mind to improve
And keep yourself very, very clear
All can be forgivenNow there's still hope for the living
Say a little prayerNothin' beats a failure but I try
With this one life to die for
I wanna satisfyA prayer, just what would I say?

Speak of those who need your love
And who pray for you everydayEverybody knows we are just people
In the people's hands
So keep a little prayerEverybody knows we are just people
In the people's hands
So say a little prayer(Our Father)
Say a little prayer
(Who art in Heaven)
Say a little prayer
(Hallowed be Thy name, in kingdom come)
Yeah, yeah
(Thy will be done, amen)

Curtis Mayfield (June 3, 1942 – December 26, 1999) was an American soul, funk and rhythm and blues, singer-songwriter and guitarist from Chicago, Illinois. Mayfield is probably best known for his anthemic music with The Impressions and for the soundtrack to the blaxploitation film Superfly. Perhaps because he didn't cross over to the pop audience as heavily as Motown's stars, it may be that the scope of Curtis Mayfield's talents and contributions have yet to be fully recognized. Judged merely by his records alone, the man's legacy is enormous.
