Prayer for the DyingSeal

Released: April 25, 1994

Songwriter: Gus Isidore Seal

Producer: Trevor Horn

[Verse 1]
Fearless people
Careless needle
Harsh words spoken
And lives are broken
Forceful aging
Help me, I'm fading
Heaven's waiting
It's time to move on

[Hook 1]
Crossing that bridge
With lessons I've learned
Playing with fire
And not getting burned
I may not know what you're going through
But time is the space between me and you
Life carries on
It goes on

[Verse 2]
Just say, "Die," and that would be pessimistic
In your mind, we can walk across water
Please don't cry, it's just a prayer for the dying
I just don't know what's got into me

[Hook 1]
Crossing that bridge
With lessons I've learned
Playing with fire
And not getting burned
I may not know what you're going through
But time is the space between me and you
Life carries on
It goes on

[Hook 2]
There is a light through that window
Hold on say yes, while people say no
Life carries on
It goes on

[Hook 1]
Crossing that bridge
With lessons I've learned
Playing with fire
And not getting burned
I may not know what you're going through
But time is the space between me and you
Life carries on
It goes on

[Hook 2]
There is a light through that window
Hold on say yes, while people say no
Life carries on
It goes on
It goes on
Goes, goes
Life carries on

[Outro]
When nothing else matters
When nothing else matters
I just don't know what's got into me
It's just a prayer for the dying
For the dying
