Prayer

In my perfect world

There's no need to right the wronged

Laid down my burden

I know I did not carry the weight

Not sure to who responsibility belonged

I turned a blind eye

While waiting for the hand of fate to still the waters

Heal all the broken hearts

And hope it could be done without a sacrifice

And maybe I just wouldn't pay the price

I've fought this long enough

Now I send the Prayer to heaven for the chance to be

A better man than the man I see

I send the Prayer to heaven, lay your hands on me

I ain't a saint but to this I swear I send the Prayer

And now I feel all I can do is not enough

My Rome is burning and I'm standing at the deep abyss

But every passion started with an act of love

And every act of love, started with a single kiss

Father, father your gift was my world of light

And I've betrayed you with a single Judas kiss

I've been my own executioner

But it's not just me anymore

Now I send the Prayer to heaven for the chance to be

A better man than the man I see

I send the Prayer to heaven, lay your hands on me

I ain't a saint but to this I swear

Burn my wasted pride

Open your heart to this

There's a voice that's crying somewhere

Deep inside my soul for shelter

Now I send the Prayer to heaven for the chance to be

A better man than the man I see

I send the Prayer to heaven, lay your hands on me

I ain't a saint but to this I swear

Now I send the Prayer to heaven for the chance to be

A better man than the man I see

I send the Prayer to heaven, lay your hands on me

I ain't a saint but to this I swear I send the Prayer...

Now I send a Prayer to heaven.
