Van Dyke Parks
My Prayer
[Verse 1]
I don't wanna live this way no more
I don't wanna fight this endless lonely war
I don't wanna stand alone
Without the only love I've known
And never find that ray of light we had before
Oh, I never meant to break your precious heart, no
And what I did can't be undone and it's tearing me apart
Far too late for promises, but if you gave us one more chance
You would see a better man worth fighting for

[Chorus]
Oh, love sweet love I feel your power
Hear my prayer, we're in your hands now
Take these hearts so lost and broken
Bring us home again

[Verse 2]
If this prayer for love is never heard
Oh, and if you have to walk away for these are only words
Baby, I will understand, but I will always be that man
Waiting here for you with love and open arms, hey, hey

[Chorus]
Love sweet love I feel your power
Hear my prayer, we're in your hands now
Take these hearts so lost and broken
And bring us home again
[Bridge]
Remember all the times we had
The dreams that we once shared
I swear I'll bring them back to you again
Again
Oh-oh, ooh

[Chorus]
Love sweet love I feel your power
(Love sweet love I feel your power)
Hear my prayer, we're in your hands now
Take these hearts so lost and broken
(Take these hearts so lost and broken)
Bring us home again
(Bring us home again)

[Outro]
And bring us home again
Oh, oh
