SOMETIMES A PRAYER JUST AIN'T ENOUGH

​

Verse 1

​

We know what's been before us,

but not what lies ahead -

yet none of us expected

a future full of dread.

​

Life's meant to get brighter,

not darker than before,

so now I am reviewing

my life a little more.

​

Chorus

​

Sometimes a prayer just ain't enough.

Sometimes we need a bit of luck.

Who knows how this is going to end.

I hope that we, together friend - get through.

​

Verse 2

​

This wasn't in my 5 year plan,

but plans have washed away.

The most important thing right now

is getting through each day.

​

We're all in this together.

Don't think you're on your own.

Although we are in lockdown,

there's Facebook or the phone.

​

Chorus

​

Sometimes a prayer just ain't enough.

Sometimes we need a bit of luck.

Who knows how this is going to end.

I hope that we, together friend - get through.

​

Bridge

​

Stay in, wash hands,

eat well, ease stress.

Applaud the

brilliant NHS.

​

Stay in, wash hands,

eat well, ease stress.

Applaud the

brilliant NHS.

​

Chorus

​

Sometimes a prayer just ain't enough.

Sometimes we need a bit of luck.

Who knows how this is going to end.

I hope that we, together friend - get through.
