Too Late For Prayin' - Gordon Lightfoot[00:00:00]
It was only yesterday[00:00:03]
When I heard the teacher say[00:00:06]
Patiently one and two make three[00:00:11]
We were children you and me[00:00:15]
Let us pray for the ones they call[00:00:20]
The children of today[00:00:25]
Nothin' left but promises[00:00:33]
Nothin' much is certain[00:00:37]
All we see is want and need across the board[00:00:42]
Why thank you lord[00:00:48]
We're livin' in the glory of your care[00:00:50]
Skies of blue have all turned brown[00:01:00]
To the sound of sighin'[00:01:05]
Lord abide let us stem the tide[00:01:09]
Of broken dreams[00:01:15]
Sometimes you seem to tell us[00:01:17]
It's too late for prayin'[00:01:21]
See the ocean wild and blue[00:01:31]
Think of all that's in her[00:01:35]
She will not surrender to the likes of us[00:01:40]
But then she must[00:01:46]
They tell us wise men tell us it's too late[00:01:48]
For each child with eyes that smile[00:01:58]
There'll be ten more cryin'[00:02:03]
Lord abide let us stem the time[00:02:07]
Of helplessness[00:02:12]
But then I guess we're livin'[00:02:15]
Is it too late for tryin'[00:02:19]
Nothin' here but grains of sand[00:02:43]
Nothin' much worth savin'[00:02:47]
Guess we've all got problems of our own to bear[00:02:51]
And still we share[00:02:58]
Tomorrow could get better than today[00:03:00]
To the ones who've loved in vain[00:03:10]
Will ya be beholden[00:03:15]
Lord abide let us stem the tide[00:03:19]
Of broken dreams[00:03:24]
Sometimes ya seem to tell us[00:03:26]
It's too late for prayin'[00:03:31]
