[00:00.00]Too Late for Prayin' - Gordon Lightfoot
[00:03.44]It was only yesterday
[00:06.79]When I heard the teacher say
[00:11.37]Patiently one and two make three
[00:15.83]We were children you and me
[00:20.43]Let us pray for the ones they call
[00:25.19]The children of today
[00:33.40]Nothin' left but promises
[00:37.93]Nothin' much is certain
[00:42.16]All we see is want and need across the board
[00:48.24]Why thank you lord
[00:50.55]We're livin' in the glory of your care
[01:00.69]Skies of blue have all turned brown
[01:05.33]To the sound of sighin'
[01:09.35]Lord abide let us stem the tide
[01:15.21]Of broken dreams
[01:17.42]Sometimes you seem to tell us
[01:21.65]It's too late for prayin'
[01:31.11]See the ocean wild and blue
[01:35.85]Think of all that's in her
[01:40.11]She will not surrender to the likes of us
[01:46.24]But then she must
[01:48.58]They tell us wise men tell us it's too late
[01:58.66]For each child with eyes that smile
[02:03.54]There'll be ten more cryin'
[02:07.33]Lord abide let us stem the time
[02:12.85]Of helplessness
[02:15.27]But then I guess we're livin'
[02:19.62]Is it too late for tryin'
[02:43.04]Nothin' here but grains of sand
[02:47.57]Nothin' much worth savin'
[02:51.93]Guess we've all got problems of our own to bear
[02:58.02]And still we share
[03:00.17]Tomorrow could get better than today
[03:10.40]To the ones who've loved in vain
[03:15.04]Will ya be beholden
[03:19.02]Lord abide let us stem the tide
[03:24.47]Of broken dreams
[03:26.82]Sometimes ya seem to tell us
[03:31.22]It's too late for prayin'
