Prayer For An Innocent Man Lyrics

Prayer For An Innocent Man lyrics

Oh won't you listen, o Lord, to my plea for justice 

Can't you hear my cry
for help 

Try to heed my honest prayer 

And judge me in my favor




'Cause you know my heart 

And you've come to me at night


But it's so hard to speak no evil 

In a hole deprived of light




So I pray for you to answer 

And to turn to me and smile


Shower me with love to save me 

From demons deep inside 



Protect me as you would your own eyes 

In the shadows of your
wings 

And learn to know the sound that echoes 

When an innocent
man sings 

When an innocent man sings 

When he sings 



So I lie with all my failures 

Praying to my best friend's ghost 

Time to kneel instead of sitting 

And let me do thy bidding 

Won't you let me do thy bidding, yeah 

Help me do thy bidding
