The Blind Boys Of Alabama - Down In New Orleans

A Prayer

A prayer, just what would I say?
Speak of those who're around
Who pray for you everyday

Everybody know we are the people
In the people's hand
Bless the soul of our man
That we might understand

All of my life
I've longed to be close
Nearer to someone
Someone would need me the most

Just say a little prayer

Nothin' beats a failure, but I try
With this one life to die
I want to satisfy with love

Just what would I do?
Allow your mind to improve
And keep yourself very cool
All could be forgiven

Now there's still hope for the living
Say a little prayer

Nothin' beats a failure, but I try
With this one life to die
I want to satisfy

A prayer, just what would I say?
Speak of those who need you
Who pray for you everyday

Everybody knows we are the people
In the people's hands
Say a little prayer

Everybody knows we are just people
In the people's hands
Say a little prayer (say a little prayer)

Everyday
