Every night say a little prayer
For the lonely child somewhere out there
For the one whose sister is lost to prostitution
The one whose brother is in a world of disillusion.
Every night say a little prayer
For the young man who was killed by a bullet.
Some ask who is the real criminal?
The one who sells the gun, or the one who uses it?
Get down on your knees
And pray to the Lord for mercy please
Pray for the teenager in pain,
Who says drugs is the only way to sustain.
For the one who uses a needle in his arm,
Doing no one but himself a world of harm.
Pray a little prayer for the fool drinking his life away,
The one you'll find in a lonely bar at the end of each day.
He says he's drinking to life -
But doesn't he know he just swallowed it?
