Lay my soul out bare, by the river, mmmm
Let my bridges burn and deliver me, mmmm
Bring my soul back, from the rhythm
Of the chains that got me here
It ain't fair, no it ain't, mmmm

[Pre-Chorus]
Mercy, mercy, mercy
I've no luck, with the man upstairs
Help me, help me, help me

[Chorus]
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
Won't you, won't you, pray for me
Won't you, won't you, pray for me
Won't you, won't you, pray for me
Won't you, won't you, pray for me
