George Michael - Praying For Time (Live)

[00:32.00] These are the days of the open hand [00:38.13] They will not be the last [00:42.04] Look around now [00:44.36] These are the days of the beggars and the choosers [00:50.29] This is the year of the hungry man [00:54.58] Whose place is in the past [00:58.80] Hand in hand with ignorance [01:03.09] And legitimate excuses [01:06.96] The rich declare themselves poor [01:11.04] And most of us are not sure [01:15.19] If we have too much [01:17.69] But we'll take our chances [01:20.13] Cause God's stopped keeping score [01:23.40] I guess somewhere along the way [01:27.36] He must have let us all out to play [01:31.89] Turned his back and all god's children [01:37.37] Crept out the back door [01:40.69] And it's hard to love, there's so much to hate [01:47.84] Hanging on to hope [01:52.30] When there is no hope to speak of [01:57.11] And the wounded skies above say it's much too much too late [02:05.59] Well maybe we should all be praying for time [02:46.21] These are the days of the empty hand [02:51.72] Oh you hold on to what you can [02:56.00] And charity is a coat you wear twice a year [03:03.13] This is the year of the guilty man [03:08.45] Your television takes a stand [03:12.90] And you find that what was over there is over here [03:20.92] So you scream from behind your door [03:25.72] Say what's mine is mine and not yours [03:29.65] I may have too much but I'll take my chances [03:34.72] Cause God's stopped keeping score [03:38.16] And you cling to the things they sold you [03:42.20] Did you cover your eyes when they told you [03:46.59] That he can't come back [03:48.75] Because he has no children to come back for [03:55.08] It's hard to love there's so much to hate [04:02.39] Hanging on to hope when there is no hope to speak of [04:11.95] And the wounded skies above say it's much too late [04:22.34] So maybe we should all be praying for time [04:30.44]
