[00:00.00]George Michael - Praying For Time
[00:29.35]
[00:31.35]These are the days of the open hand
[00:35.57]They will not be the last
[00:39.07]Look around now
[00:41.11]These are the days of the beggars and the choosers
[00:45.82]
[00:46.28]This is the year of the hungry man
[00:50.04]Whose place is in the past
[00:53.64]Hand in hand with ignorance
[00:57.58]And legitimate excuses
[01:00.98]
[01:01.48]The rich declare themselves poor
[01:05.23]And most of us are not sure
[01:08.70]If we have too much
[01:10.42]But we'll take our chances
[01:12.71]'Cause God's stopped keeping score
[01:15.45]I guess somewhere along the way
[01:19.55]He must have let us all out to play
[01:24.23]Turned his back and all God's children
[01:27.65]Crept out the back door
[01:30.42]
[01:31.08]And it's hard to love, there's so much to hate
[01:38.33]Hanging on to hope
[01:42.08]When there is no hope to speak of
[01:45.81]And the wounded skies above say
[01:49.83]it's much too much too late
[01:55.33]Well maybe we should all be praying for time
[01:59.81]
[02:30.18]These are the days of the empty hand
[02:34.12]Oh you hold on to what you can
[02:38.13]And charity is a coat you wear twice a year
[02:43.97]
[02:45.06]This is the year of the guilty man
[02:49.22]Your television takes a stand
[02:52.53]And you find that what was over there is over here
[02:59.53]
[03:00.00]So you scream from behind your door
[03:03.66]Say what's mine is mine and not yours
[03:07.37]I may have too much but I'll take my chances
[03:11.47]'Cause God's stopped keeping score
[03:14.67]And you cling to the things they sold you
[03:18.47]Did you cover your eyes when they told you
[03:22.19]That he can't come back
[03:24.16]'Cause he has no children to come back for
[03:29.50]
[03:30.14]It's hard to love there's so much to hate
[03:37.06]Hanging on to hope when there is no hope to speak of
[03:44.79]And the wounded skies above say it's much too late
[03:54.03]So maybe we should all be praying for time
[03:59.07]
