| Say a little prayer, baby, 'fore you go to sleep
|
| Say a little prayer and give the lord thy soul to keep
|
| Say a little prayer, darlin'
|
| For all the people in the world
|
| That their hearts will be happy, filled with joy
|
| Say a little prayer for all those who are poor
|
| That they’ll find peace of mind and the ones they adore
|
| Say a little prayer, baby
|
| For all those who have much more
|
| That they’ll find it in their hearts to lend a helping hand
|
| Nobody goes to church on Sundays anymore
|
| Is that why the world is fighting, filled with wars
|
| Nobody goes to church or thanks the lord for what they eat
|
| Is that why half the world is starving
|
| Running out of necessities
|
| I wonder — wonder if we’re doing right
|
| Say a little prayer, say a little prayer
|
| Say a little prayer, say a little prayer
|
| Say a little prayer, children
|
| So say a little prayer, baby
|
| For all the children just like you
|
| Growing like a flower in the morning dew
|
| Say a little prayer that they may grow to see
|
| The world full of love and harmony
|
| Mm mm mm… |
