Praying For Time

In the style of

Carrie Underwood

Lyrics

these are the days
of the open hand

they will not be the last

look around now
these are the days

of the beggars
and the choosers

this is the year
of the hungry man

whose place is in the past

hand in hand
with ignorance

and legitimate excuses

and the rich declare
themselves poor

and most of us are not sure

if we have too much
but we'll take our chances

'cos god stopped
keeping score

i guess somewhere
along the way

he must have let us
all out to play

and turned his back
and all god's children

crept out the back door

and it's hard to love
there's so much to hate

hanging onto hope

when there is no

hope to speak of

and the wounded skies above
say it's much too late

oh, maybe we should all
be praying for time

this is the year
of the empty hand

oh, you hold onto
what you can

and charity is a coat

you wear twice a year

these are the days
of the guilty man

the television takes a stand

and you find
that what was over there

is over here

so you scream from
behind your door

say what's mine is
mine and not yours

i may have too much
but i'll take my chances

'cos god stopped
keeping score

and you'll cling to the
things they sold you

did you cover your eyes
when they told you

that he can't come back
'cos he has no children

to come back for

and it's hard to love
when there's so much to hate

and hanging onto hope

when there is no

hope to speak of

and the wounded skies above
say it's much much too late

mmm well maybe we should
all be praying for time
