BEGGAR'S PRAYER
Words & music by Jon Tonge & Mark Durfield

If I never see the day when my sins are absolved
If I never find a way to get back the love I've lost
Lord lift me up, I've been good enough
I just didn't hear my name when you called

Now my body is broken and my soul's sick with sin
And I don't have the heart to start over again
I've been thinkin' someday, they'll lay me in the clay
And I'll wonder just where it all went

I've been honored by the presence of whores and demons
Spotlight my soul unintentional screamin'
I've cried in my mind to the cloth and the clergy
My time is comin' so please try and hurry
And give me an answer 'cause I'm fadin' fast
It'll take the rest of my life to pay for my past
Don't turn away, I'm beggin' you please set me free
Oh please set me free

Now do you know the difference between passion and love
Can you hide your pain behind your resolve
If you'd only let it show, would we ever know
That your innocence, your faith ain't enough

Now can you walk a line between heaven and hell
Have you given away all the love you can sell
Cay you carry the load, it's a long lonesome road
With those secrets you never could sell

I've been honored by the presence of whores and demons
Spotlight my soul unintentional screamin'
I've cried in my mind to the cloth and the clergy
My time is comin' so please try and hurry
And give me an answer 'cause I'm fadin' fast
It'll take the rest of my life to pay for my past
Don't turn away, I'm beggin' you please set me free
Oh please set me free
