traditional rock, folk rock, blues rock,
Acoustic trio of friends
Story behind the song
a cry for help
Lyrics
Pray For Me
A man met a woman and they settled down
He built her a fine house, the nicest in town
She taught him of love which he never knew
She made him the man that she’s so proud of
A man who had learned how to love
Soon he became a man of the cloth
He helped everyone both the rich and the poor
She gave him a child, another one too
One dressed in pink and the other in blue
They called him John and her Sue
Chorus
Pray for me, say a prayer for me
Just to see if I’m getting through
They prospered and grew always lived by the truth
Treated everyone with kindness, turned the bad ones to good
Then tragedy struck, someone killed their first born
They wonder why us and what had we done wrong
That’s why I’m singing this song
For years they did mourn, their hearts tattered and torn
The sun never rose, no not even at dawn
And Johnny grew up and he went off to war
To kill or be killed just to settle the score
Chorus
The moral of this story may not be so profound
Just a slice of life from the cradle to the ground
It may not turn out like you thought it should be
That just goes to show, that thing called destiny
Waiting for you and for me
From the time you were born you were led to believe
If your honest and kind you will get what you need
Your time will come having earned your reward
How could something so good, be so cold and so cruel
That why I’ll say it once more
