Prayin' For Time lyrics by George Michael
PRAYING FOR TIMEGeorge Michael (MTA1464 - Key:Bb - Tempo: - Time:4.26) www.hittrax.com.au
INTRO: --> (8 BARS)
Woh oh yeah... mmm, du du du... ahhh...
V1 These are the days of the open hand
They will not be the last, look around now
These are the days of the beggars, & the choosers
This is the year of the hungry man, whose place is in the past
Hand in hand, with ignorance and legitimate excuses
BRIDGE 1 -----
The rich declare themselves poor
And most of us are not sure
If we have too much, but we'll take our chances
'cos God's stopped keeping score
I guess somewhere along the way
He must have let us all out to play
Turned his back and all God's children, crept out the back door
V3 And it's hard to love, there's so much to hate
Hanging on to hope, when there is no hope to speak of
And the wounded skies above, say it's much too much too late
Well maybe we should all be prayin' for time
INSTRUMENTAL -----
Du du du du... mmmm.... woh yeah
V4 These are the days of the empty hand
Oh you hold on to what you can
And charity is a coat you wear, twice a year
This is the year of the guilty man, your television takes a stand
And you find, that what was over there, is over here
BRIDGE 1 -----
So you scream from behind your door
Say what's mine is mine and not yours
I may have too much but I'll take my chances
'cos God's stopped keeping score
And you cling to the things they sold you
Did you cover your eyes when they told you
That he can't come back
'cos he has no children, to come back for
V6 It's hard to love, there's so much to hate
Hanging on to hope, when there is no hope to speak of
And the wounded skies above, say it's much too late
So maybe we should all be praying for time
OUTRO -----
Du du du ... woh... yeah
