Lyrics

SPARE A PRAYER


I saw him there as the light turned red, left for dead
Holding a cardboard sign, that said a dollar ain't worth a dime
Then he waved at me when he caught my eye
He forced a smile, slowly made his way to the driver's side
I could swear I saw a halo as his words came through the window,
And took me by surprise

Can you spare a prayer
For someone in need
Can you spare a prayer
To set a soul free
Now I'm on my knees, can you hear my plea, spare a prayer for me

His face was drawn, his hair was thin, he was looking grim
But all that I could see was I needed him
I said the world's a wreck, my life's mess, brother I confess
We're all living the same old lives, more or less.
I could swear I saw an angel as my words came through the window
And took him by surprise

Can you spare a prayer
For someone in need
Can you spare a prayer
To set a soul free
Now I'm on my knees, can you hear my plea, spare a prayer for me

It was clear to me as the light turned green, we were both in this together
There's no shame to ask a favor, even from a stranger
We could all use one more, to bring us closer to Heaven's door

Spare a prayer
For someone in need
Can you spare a prayer
To set a soul free
Now I'm on my knees, can you hear my plea

Spare a prayer
For someone in need
Can you spare a prayer
To set a soul free
Now I'm on my knees, can you hear my plea, spare a prayer for me
