Lay my soul out bare by the river, mmm
Let my bridges burn and deliver me, mmm
Bring my soul back from the rhythm
Of the chains that got me here
It ain’t fair, no, it ain't, mmm
Mercy, mercy, mercy
I’ve no luck with the man upstairs
Help me, help me, help me
Won’t you pray?
'Cause she don’t hear me like she hears you pray
So just pray for me
Won’t you pray?
'Cause I’m too far from Heaven when I pray
So just pray for me
Oh, won't you, won't you pray for me? Yeah
Oh, won't you, won't you pray for me? Yeah
Oh, won't you, won't you pray for me? Yeah
Oh, won't you, won't you pray for me? Yeah
Mercy, mercy, mercy
Help me, help me, help me
Mercy, mercy, mercy
Help me, help me, help me
Mercy, mercy, mercy
Help me, help me, help me
Mercy, mercy, mercy
Help me, help me, help me
Help me, help me
Help me, help me
Help me, help me
Won’t you pray?
'Cause she don’t hear me like she hears you pray
So just pray for me
Won’t you pray?
'Cause I’m too far from Heaven when I pray
So just pray for me
Oh, won't you, won't you pray for me? Yeah
Oh, won't you, won't you pray for me? Yeah
Oh, won't you, won't you pray for me? Yeah
Oh, won't you, won't you pray for me? Yeah
