Gordon Lightfoot
Too Late For Prayin'

It was only yesterday

When I heard the teacher say

Patiently, one and two make three

We were children, you and me

Let us pray for the ones they call

The children of today

Nothin' left but promises

Nothin' much is certain

All we see is want and need across the board, why thank you lord

We're livin' in the glory of your care

Skies of blue have all turned brown

To the sound of cryin

Lord abide, let us stem the tide

Of broken dreams

Sometimes you seem to tell us

It's too late for prayin'



See the ocean wild and blue

Think of all that's in her

She will not surrender to the likes of us, but then she must

They tell us, wise men tell us, it's too late

For each child with eyes that smile

There'll be ten more cryin'

Lord abide, let us stem the time

Of helplessness

But then I guess we're livin'

Is it too late for prayin'



Nothin' here but grains of sand

Nothin' much worth savin'

Guess we've all got problems of our own to bear, and still we share

Tomorrow could get better than today

To the ones who've loved in vain

Will ya be beholden

Lord abide, let us stem the tide

Of broken dreams

Sometimes ya seem to tell us

It's too late for prayin'


Mirror lyrics:

It's too late for prayin'

Sometimes ya seem to tell us

Of broken dreams

Lord abide, let us stem the tide

Will ya be beholden

To the ones who've loved in vain

Tomorrow could get better than today

Guess we've all got problems of our own to bear, and still we share

Nothin' much worth savin'

Nothin' here but grains of sand



Is it too late for prayin'

But then I guess we're livin'

Of helplessness

Lord abide, let us stem the time

There'll be ten more cryin'

For each child with eyes that smile

They tell us, wise men tell us, it's too late

She will not surrender to the likes of us, but then she must

Think of all that's in her

See the ocean wild and blue



It's too late for prayin'

Sometimes you seem to tell us

Of broken dreams

Lord abide, let us stem the tide

To the sound of cryin

Skies of blue have all turned brown

We're livin' in the glory of your care

All we see is want and need across the board, why thank you lord

Nothin' much is certain

Nothin' left but promises

The children of today

Let us pray for the ones they call

We were children, you and me

Patiently, one and two make three

When I heard the teacher say

It was only yesterday
