Too Late For Prayin'

Too Late For Prayin'

(album: Sundown - 1974)

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
Nothing left but promises
Nothing much is certain
All we see is want and need across the board, why thank you lord
We're living 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 praying

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 crying
Lord abide, let us stem the time
Of helplessness
But then I guess we're living
Is it too late for praying

Nothing here but grains of sand
Nothing much worth saving
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 praying
