Gordon Lightfoot - Too Late For Prayin' Lyrics
It was only yesterdayWhen I heard the teacher sayPatiently, one and two make threeWe were children, you and meLet us pray for the ones they callThe children of todayNothin left but promisesNothin much is certainAll we see is want and need across the board, why thank you lordWere livin in the glory of your careSkies of blue have all turned brownTo the sound of cryinLord abide, let us stem the tideOf broken dreamsSometimes you seem to tell usIts too late for prayinSee the ocean wild and blueThink of all thats in herShe will not surrender to the likes of us, but then she mustThey tell us, wise men tell us, its too lateFor each child with eyes that smileTherell be ten more cryinLord abide, let us stem the timeOf helplessnessBut then I guess were livinIs it too late for prayinNothin here but grains of sandNothin much worth savinGuess weve all got problems of our own to bear, and still we shareTomorrow could get better than todayTo the ones whove loved in vainWill ya be beholdenLord abide, let us stem the tideOf broken dreamsSometimes ya seem to tell usIts too late for prayin
