Say a prayer for the poor in spirit
Say a prayer for the heart stricken by grief
Say a prayer for the man who's plagued by hopelessness
And if you get a chance, just say a little prayer for me

I'll say the prayer of the faithful farmer
I'll say a prayer to sow in with my seeds
I'll say a prayer to fertilize the rocky soil
But when the winter comes, just say a little prayer for me

The light at the end of the tunnel is dying out
And it's hard to keep your sanity without it
But sooner or later, my friend
The sun will creep in again
So don't turn back, give up, or give in to doubt just yet
No

Say a prayer for the one lost in darkness
I said, say a prayer for the light you cannot see
Say a prayer for the man who's plagued by hopelessness
And if you get a chance, just say a little prayer for me

Say a prayer as we're climbing up our mountains
Say a prayer as we ride the sun right into the sea
Say a prayer 'cause even though you might not see us
We're still there so say a little prayer for me

Say a little prayer but make it big for me
Say a little prayer but make it big for me
