Song title: Gordon Lightfoot - Too Late For Prayin'

Edit By: 216.73.217.15

It was only yesterday
When I heard the teacher say
Patiently, one and two make three
We were children, you and me
Let us pray for the ones they call
The children of today
Nothin left but promises
Nothin much is certain
All we see is want and need across the board, why thank you lord
Were livin in the glory of your care
Skies of blue have all turned brown
To the sound of cryin
Lord abide, let us stem the tide
Of broken dreams
Sometimes you seem to tell us
Its too late for prayin

See the ocean wild and blue
Think of all thats in her
She will not surrender to the likes of us, but then she must
They tell us, wise men tell us, its too late
For each child with eyes that smile
Therell be ten more cryin
Lord abide, let us stem the time
Of helplessness
But then I guess were livin
Is it too late for prayin

Nothin here but grains of sand
Nothin much worth savin
Guess weve all got problems of our own to bear, and still we share
Tomorrow could get better than today
To the ones whove loved in vain
Will ya be beholden
Lord abide, let us stem the tide
Of broken dreams
Sometimes ya seem to tell us
Its too late for prayin
