A Prayer - Madeleine Peyroux

Lord

I must be strong now

I don’t belong now

In this world anymore

I’ll say a final prayer for

Those I care for

Who’ve kept my company

My need is clear

I’m dying to have you near

To me Lord

I don’t belong now

If you are waiting

I am not afraid to die

I’m prepared to go Divide my body and soul

Won’t you

Lord

I don’t belong now

If you are waiting

I am not afraid to die

Have mercy

Lord, I’m told it’s paradise

To have and to hold you

Lord

I must be strong now

I don’t belong now

In this world anymore

Lord

I won’t be long now

If you are waiting

I am not afraid to die
