THERE'S A PRAYER FOR THE LIVING AND THE DYING
THERE'S A PRAYER TO SOOTHE THE SAVAGE SEA
THERE'S A PRAYER, IT SEEMS, FOR ALMOST EVERYTHING
BUT YOU, YOU HAVE HAVEN'T GOT A PRAYER FOR ME
AND I… I HAVEN'T GOT A PRAYER
SO MANY CRIES IN THE NIGHT THAT YOU TRY TO IGNORE
WHY DIDN'T I DO THIS?
WHY DIDN'T I DO THAT?
SO MANY UNBROKEN CHAINS
SO MANY UNSETTLED SCORES
THE OLD MAN AT THE BANK THAT SNEERS
THE TEACHERS AND THEIR SLAPS
THE BRUTAL EYES, THE UNIFORMS
THE LAWYERS AND THEIR TRAPS
THE LONELY GIRLS WHO YEARN TO LOVE
AND LEARN TO KISS AND DANCE
THE RICH AND SELFISH WIDOWS
IN THE MARKET FOR ROMANCE
THE SOLDIER WITH THE SMELL OF WAR
THAT NEVER FADES AWAY
THE HERO OF THE PLAYING FIELD
FORGOTTEN IN A DAY
THE PRIEST IN THE CONFESSIONAL
THE TREMBLING HANDS AND WHISPERED SIGHS
THE DOCTORS IN THE HOSPITAL
UNENDING TESTS AND TWISTED LIES
THE BETRAYERS, THE BETRAYED
THE ABANDONED, THE AFRAID
THE CORRUPTED AND THE CELEBRATED
ENDLESSLY HUMILIATED
GLORIOUSLY BIG PARADE!
YOU CAN SAY A PRAYER FOR EVERYONE
THAT THERE COULD EVER BE
SAY A PRAYER FOR ALL OF THESE AND MORE
BUT THERE'S STILL NO PRAYER FOR ME
SAY A PRAYER FOR YOUR PUREST DAUGHTER
TOLL A BELL FOR YOUR ONLY SON
THERE'S NO WAY OUT AND ALL MY PRAYERS
ARE FADING ONE BY ONE
THE STERN AND DISAPPROVING LIPS
THE FRIENDS WHO JUST ATTACK
THE FATHERS THAT THEY TAKE AWAY
THE ONES THAT CAN'T GET BACK
THE DESPERATE BOY WHO SLEEPS ALONE
WHOEVER'S IN HIS BED
THE CHOSEN ONES THEY GET A HOME
THE BLESSED GET AHEAD
THE KIDS ARE PLAYING SOFTBALL
IN THE FADING SUMMER NIGHT
THE TEENAGE LOVERS AT THE DRIVE-IN
THE GLOW OF DASHBOARD LIGHT
AN AMERICAN FLYER
ON A STEEP INCLINE
THE WIND BLOWING THROUGH YOUR HAIR
THE TROPHIES AND THE HOLIDAYS
THEY ALL VANISHED IN THE AIR
THE BETRAYERS, THE BETRAYED
THE ABANDONED, THE AFRAID
THE GLORIFIED, THE IDOLIZED
THE BASTARDS AND THEIR JEALOUS EYES
AN AMAZINGLY BIG PARADE!
YOU CAN SAY A PRAYER FOR EVERYONE
YOU'VE KNOW OR YOU MIGHT SEE
SAY A PRAYER FOR ALL OF THESE AND MORE
BUT THERE'S STILL NO PRAYER FOR ME
SAY A PRAYER FOR EVERY LIVING THING
THE UNBORN AND DECEASED
BUT I HAVEN'T GOT A PRAYER—I KNOW—!
THAT'S THE NATURE OF THE BEAST
THAT'S THE NATURE OF THE BEAST
The Man: What do you want from me?
Swallow: I want my mother back.
The Man: You want me to bring your mother back?
Swallow: Yes, please. You can heal the SICK and raise the dead. Bein' the Son o'God, it can't be that difficult for you.
YOU CAN DO THAT, TELL ME, CAN'T YOU?
YOU CAN TAKE SOMETHING DEAD AND MAKE IT ALIVE AGAIN…?
CAN YOU DO THAT FOR ME?
The Man: I have to think about it
OH BUT YOU CAN… I JUST KNOW THAT YOU CAN
It'd be such a small miracle for you to perform. Please dear Jesus. I'll do anything.
The Man:
WE'VE GOT A CHANCE TO WORK SOME WONDERS
YOU CAN HELP ME WITH THE SECOND COMING
WE GOTTA PLAY OUR CARDS SO WELL
WE GOTTA BE SO SMART AND CRAFTY
YOU'RE EXACTLY WHAT I NEED
AND I KNOW THAT YOU'RE THE ANSWER
WOULD YOU BE MY FIRST APOSTLE?
MY TICKET TO A NEW BEGINNING?
YOU'RE SO INNOCENT AND TRUSTING
CAN I ASK YOU TO DO ANYTHING?
Swallow: I'll do whatever you want, if only you'd do that one thing for me.
The Man: I don't have the strength to perform miracles right now. Maybe later… if you take really good care of me.
I SWEAR I WILL
I'LL CARE FOR YOU BETTER THAN ANYONE EVER HAS
