More Than A Prayer
There is no dreamy home on
the Caribbean Sea
No pleasant ride in the
sunset for you and me
I weep over the things that
could have been
More than death are the wages
of our sin
I can’t give you more than a
prayer
And to hold your hand with
care
I can’t give you more than a
prayer
And be by your side as you
lie there
Dementia is the dance darling
you’re center stage
We’re at the end of the book
near the final page
I cry in the long goodbye
asking ‘Why?’
God in His wisdom gives me no
reply
I can’t give you more than a
prayer
And to hold your hand with
care
I can’t give you more than a
prayer
And be by your side as you
lie there
I remember all the good times
grateful for the day
In this trip called life the
ticket’s only one way
God may be Love but tell me is
He fair?
Blaspheming billionaires live
with no care
I can’t give you more than a
prayer
And to hold your hand with
care
I can’t give you more than a
prayer
And be by your side as you
lie there
Everyone has a hustle everyone
wants another buck
They promise happy bliss and
wish you good luck
In the end a friend is the one
who stands by your side
I remember Jesus so lonely
when he was crucified
So sweet Sylvia death will
come to swallow you up
With one big swallow the reaper
empties your cup
I’ll go one when your gone such
is this life
Goodbye lover friend goodbye dear
wife
I can’t give you more than a
prayer
And to hold your hand with
care
I can’t give you more than a
prayer
And be by your side as you
lie there
