Say a prayer

(Cyndi Lauper, Jan Pulsford) 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 ... So, what are you weaving there marionette Keepin' your balance by a single thread ... Keepin' your heart strings tight and pure All you can muster and nothing more and nothing more Until 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 hanging in the balance or Dancing in the shadow like a silhouette So what are you weaving there marionnette ... So what are you weaving there marionnette ... Say a prayer for all the souls in bloom cut down Far too soon under the scarlet moon Say a prayer, go on say a prayer ... Some people get a sadness so long They just go on thinking 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 Dropping 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 Say a prayer, for all the souls in bloom ... Say a prayer... Say a prayer ...
