Say a Prayer Songtext

von Cyndi Lauper

Yea, come
Yea come

Say a prayer for all the souls in bloom
Cut down far too soon
Under the scarlet moon
Under the scarlet moon
Say a prayer
C'mon and say a prayer

So, what are you weavin' there Marionette?
Keepin' your balance by a single thread
Keepin' your heart strings tight and pure
All you can muster and nothin' more
And nothin' more
And still you're sore
And still you're sore
When do you soar?
Sometimes justice is the line you walk or sign
But justice is complex and a matter of time
Sometimes it's hangin' in the balance
Or dancin' in the shadow like a silhouette
So what are you weavin' there Marionnette?
So what are you weavin' there Marionnette?

Say a prayer for all the souls in bloom
Cut down far too soon
Under the scarlet moon
Under the scarlet moon
Say a prayer
Say a prayer
Say a prayer
Say a prayer

Some people get a sadness so long
They just go on thinkin' it's a natural thing
Some people throw their hands in the sky
And they wonder why God don't reply
Well it's strange, strange time
All our friends droppin' like flies
Everything that's come to pass
All the time we thought would last
Well I'll just button my coat and cover my neck
I got barely enough time to catch my breath
All these pictures I can't forget
It can fill your cup with regret
It can fill your cup with regret
It can fill your cup with regret

For all the souls in bloom
Cut down far too soon
Under the scarlet moon
Under the scarlet moon

Say a prayer for all the souls in bloom
Cut down far too soon
Under the scarlet moon

So, what are you weavin' there Marionette?
Keepin' your balance by a single thread
Keepin' your heart strings tight and pure
All you can muster and nothin' more
Some people throw their hands in the sky
And they wonder why God don't reply
Well it's strange, strange time
All our friends droppin' like flies
So, what are you weavin' there Marionette?
Everything that's come to pass
All the time we thought would last
So, what are you weavin' there Marionette?
(Under the scarlet moon)
(Under the scarlet moon)
(Say a prayer)
