Lightfoot Gordon Too Late For Prayin` Lyrics

Too Late For Prayin` Lyrics

It was only yesterday

 When I heard the teacher say

 Patiently, one and two make three

 We were children, you and me

 Let us pray for the ones they call

 The children of today

 

 Nothin' left but promises

 Nothin' much is certain

 All we see is want and need across the board, why thank you lord

 We're livin' in the glory of your care

 Skies of blue have all turned brown

 To the sound of cryin

 Lord abide, let us stem the tide

 Of broken dreams

 Sometimes you seem to tell us

 It's too late for prayin'

 

 See the ocean wild and blue

 Think of all that's in her

 She will not surrender to the likes of us, but then she must

 They tell us, wise men tell us, it's too late

 For each child with eyes that smile

 There'll be ten more cryin'

 Lord abide, let us stem the time

 Of helplessness

 But then I guess we're livin'

 Is it too late for prayin'

 

 Nothin' here but grains of sand

 Nothin' much worth savin'

 Guess we've all got problems of our own to bear, and still we share

 Tomorrow could get better than today

 To the ones who've loved in vain

 Will ya be beholden

 Lord abide, let us stem the tide

 Of broken dreams

 Sometimes ya seem to tell us

 It's too late for prayin'
