George Michael - Praying for Time (2010 Remastered Version)

[00:33.55] These are the days of the open hand [00:35.37] They will not be the last [00:38.98] Look around now [00:40.80] These are the days of the beggars and the choosers [00:46.23] This is the year of the hungry man [00:49.84] Whose place is in the past [00:53.47] Hand in hand with ignorance [00:57.09] And legitimate excuses [01:01.62] The rich declare themselves poor [01:04.33] And most of us are not sure [01:08.86] If we have too much [01:10.67] But we'll take our chances [01:12.48] Cause God's stopped keeping score [01:16.11] I guess somewhere along the way [01:19.73] He must have let us all out to play [01:24.26] Turned his back and all god's children [01:27.88] Crept out the back door [01:31.50] And it's hard to love, there's so much to hate [01:38.75] Hanging on to hope [01:42.37] When there is no hope to speak of [01:45.99] And the wounded skies above say it's much too much too late [01:55.95] Well maybe we should all be praying for time [02:31.27] These are the days of the empty hand [02:34.89] Oh you hold on to what you can [02:38.52] And charity is a coat you wear twice a year [02:45.76] This is the year of the guilty man [02:50.29] Your television takes a stand [02:53.91] And you find that what was over there is over here [03:01.16] So you scream from behind your door [03:04.78] Say what's mine is mine and not yours [03:08.40] I may have too much but I'll take my chances [03:12.93] Cause God's stopped keeping score [03:16.55] And you cling to the things they sold you [03:20.18] Did you cover your eyes when they told you [03:23.80] That he can't come back [03:25.61] Because he has no children to come back for [03:31.04] It's hard to love there's so much to hate [03:38.29] Hanging on to hope when there is no hope to speak of [03:46.44] And the wounded skies above say it's much too late [03:56.40] So maybe we should all be praying for time [04:35.34]
