Bon Jovi - Save A Prayer Lyrics






Dear Lord, Jesus, Buddah, Allah or can I just call you Joe
I've got a lot of things to tell you and some things I gotta know
I'm tired of hearing talk about this world's about to end
If we can die together then can't we all be friends
I gotta know
Hey, I gotta know
So Mister can you tell me, gotta know
Baby can you tell me, gotta know
Whoa oh oh I gotta know
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, I gotta know
Baby can you help me, gotta know
I gotta know

Did you ever feel like you were drowning,
did you ever feel betrayed by a kiss?
Did you ever feel like you needed somebody,
would you feel alone in a world like this?
Did you ever feel like you needed shelter,
did you ever laugh when you wanted to cry?
Did you ever dream about evolution,
don't you ever feel like your living a lie?

Oh, Whoa, too many children grow up blind to the truth.
I say, Oh Oh, Oh, Oh,
say a prayer for me,
I'll save a prayer for you.

Did you ever feel like you were helpless,
did you ever feel like an open wound?
Did you ever feel that there ain't no forgiveness,
did you ever feel that close to the.truth.

Oh Whoa, the world closed their eyes on the blinding truth.
I say, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh , say a prayer for me,
and I'll save a prayer for you
I'll save a prayer for you, I'll save a prayer for you,
I'll save a prayer.... for you, for you, for you.
I'll save a prayer.

Did you ever feel like you need shelter,
did you ever feel like you lived through the flood?
Did you ever feel a lust for survival, did you ever feel, feel, feel?
The world keeps turning.
Rooms still burning.
There's too many hearts that haven't found a home.
This train's on the tracks and the world's on my back,
save a prayer for me and I'll save one for you.

No one to blame , but it's hard to explain,
why too many soul's are feeling so alone.
You've got to hold on if it's all you can do.
Save a prayer for me, I'll save a prayer for you.
I'll save a prayer for you, I'll save a prayer for you,
I'll Save a prayer....
for you, for you, for you.

Bon Jovi Save A Prayer Comments
  1. A.... F....

    Probably their best album... this track is such a hidden gem, big love!

  2. C.... F....

    best song of the album with Dry county

  3. s.... f....

    why the fuck would they take this song out

  4. A.... 7....

    One of BJ's most underrated songs.

  5. S.... ....

    Why are the better songs on every album always cut out of them.

  6. R.... L....

    I would love to spend a blissful 24 hrs with Bon Jovi..just jamming&hanging out..just being in the presence of so much great talent...originality and groovy company..thanks for saving my life!!Your music got me threw some serious crisis..Sincerely❤✊

  7. J.... B....

    The only thought that comes to my mind when I think of reasons why they left it off the album is that if Jon included it on the album he would be obligated to perform it live and therefore would be damn hard to sing those high key parts

  8. J.... K....

    The portion from 4.00 to 4.21 always gave me the creeps...but will always remain close to my heart

    J.... K....

    Is this considered a breakdown? I don't know. xD

  9. m.... ....

    So wierd and outstanding. My mysterious childhood.

  10. R.... V....

    When Bon Jovi met U2. Amazing.

  11. S.... D....

    bon jovis best song

    S.... D....

    No that’s dry county it’s not even a discussion

    S.... D....

    Infact it’s dry county, if i was your mother, sante fe, something to believe in, my guitar lies bleeding end of hell to the fire and other early somgs beat the shit out of this song

  12. Y.... B....

    I have the CD version. I bought it at a music store here in brazil. It's original,

  13. J.... L....

    I've never understood the weird intro (the part until 0:57). It ruins an amazing song! Like starting "Smells like teen spirits" with 57 seconds of someone farting, or something like that.

  14. N.... ....

    I remember listening to the keep the faith album, this was a bonus track. Everything this song started to play, I hated the start and I always stopped the song. But one day I gave it a chance and let it keep playing...and I remember what I felt when the bass begins to play...oh boy, it became one of my favorite bon jovi songs instantly.

  15. H.... d....

    Masterpiece.. thats all

  16. x.... ....

    Low key one of the best Bon Jovi songs

  17. o.... e....

    one of my favorite song since 1994 from the album "keep the faith".bon jovi fan since 94"

    o.... e....

    This was 1992

    o.... e....

    great tune. great days

  18. K.... S....

    It’s a great song!!

  19. S.... ....

    Bedt song on the album! I feel sorry for countries that did not get it. I am so glad Australia got the full releases of Keep The Faith, These Days and Crush. Still pissed the new vinyl releases are not complete and this song is NOT on the lame bonus disc in the vinyl box set.

    I still dream of big anniversary lp box sets of Slippery and New Jersey with all the Sons of Beaches songs and Slippery outtakes.

  20. B.... F....

    Well what do I say. Fool

  21. T.... S....

    Probably the last Bon Jovi album I bought. Don't care for them any more. But damn. Got this one in Singapore with this track when it came out. It was perfect for sitting in the break room, getting pumped up to go out on the flight deck and bring the birds in. Had to keep your head on a swivel on a carrier and this was a good primer to listen to before looking danger in the face.

    T.... S....

    You should buy These days too. Its another good Album

  22. G.... T....

    I'm Bon Jovi fans since 1992. I know every songs, but this is probably the best....all this songs!

  23. D.... C....

    som muito bom!!!

  24. P.... C....

    Outtake? In all South America this song was included.

    P.... C....

    Paco Chuquiure mm not where im from. We had bed of roses in spanish

    P.... C....

    Usually, if it's unheard of in the United States Of America, it's an outtake. (If you're reading, by any chance Jon, this is NOT cool.)

  25. R.... ....

    Best song from Bon Jovi ;-)

  26. D.... A....

    One of Bon Jovi's better songs.

  27. �.... �....

    4:05 is the shit

    �.... �....

    Δεν θα μπορουσα να συμφωνήσω περισσότερο...

    �.... �....

    e ntaxei olo kalo einai

    �.... �....

    Συμφωνω και επαυξανω

  28. v.... ....

    One of my favorite songs from Keep the Faith. I was glad that in my country the album was released with this song as a bonus track.

    v.... ....

    ajjjajajaj stupid .....you are an idiot thereis no need to have lucky to find this album because its 3 cd set in japan and you can buy it on ebay wherever you were.....asl

    v.... ....

    where are you from?

    v.... ....

    ed you are stupid. he talks about the past when there was no ebay.

    v.... ....

    I feel exactly the same. I would love to know what idiot blocked one of the best songs on the album from being on the album in certain countries. Especially now that re-releases are based on the us version of the album without Save A Prayer and Starting All Over Again. So pissed it is not on the vinyl re-release or the "bonus" disc in the vinyl box set. Keep The Faith witjout this song is just wrong to me

    v.... ....

    Do you have the songs? I need it,

  29. T.... ....

    new BonJovi gag on cock hard

  30. M.... P....

    Some of my favorite songs have been B- sides on cassettes that wernt on the album ( in Australia anyway) the B-side of Push by Matchbox 20 has the Acoustic studio version of Busted and why it wasn't on the album instead of that crappy electric version is insane .

  31. M.... P....

    In Australia it was on the B-side of I'll Sleep When I'm Dead cassette single

    M.... P....

    Max Power In Australia it was the 13th song on the album with Startin' All Over Again being 14. One of the best songs on the album and I feel sorry for countries that missed out on it! How THIS was a BONUS track and Woman In Love, Fear and Blame It On The Love Of Rock'n'Roll were legit tracks, I will never know!!! Can't stand Woman In Love. One of the worst songs JBJ ever wrote!

  32. u.... ....

    Jon can't sing this song live, in europian version of Keep the faith was this song

  33. �.... B....

    the best outtake in my opinion is love is war

    �.... B....

    Γιώργος BJ from my point of view their best outtakes are edge of a broken heart and we rule the night. What a great hard rock songs.

    �.... B....

    In my opinion the best outtake is "Satellite".

  34. J.... ....

    why was this an outtake??? this is WAY better than Woman in Love or I Want You

    J.... ....

    Jon Bon Jovi has always had terrible judgment as to which songs to include on albums. If it weren't for Richie's influence, "Livin' on a Prayer" would have been left off of Slippery When Wet. There's also the fact that "Satellite" and "Stay" were left off of Crush and "These Open Arms" and "Nothing" were left off of Have a Nice Day (with the exception of Japan, where "These Open Arms" was a bonus track).

    J.... ....

    One of my FAVOURITE BJ songs! Keep The Faith without this song is just wrong to me. Thank god it was on the Australian (and Japanese) CD! I feel sorry for countries that did not get the full album. It also shits me that new releases are based on the shitty US track list with no "bonus tracks"!

    Pisses me off that it is not on the new 2 disc vinyl release. Same goes for I Could Make A Living Out Of Loving You and Neurotica not being on the CRUSH vinyl. Both were on the original Aus/Jp CDs. These Days has All I Want Is Everything and Bitter Wine on the vinyl, why the hell were the "bonus" tracks not included on the KtF and CRUSH vinyl?

    Universal are idiots. They show no respect to Bon Jovi at all. No Slippery anniversay with all those awesome unused songs on it. No New Jersey deluxe vinyl with the amazing Sons Of Beaches songs.... pisses me off.

    J.... ....

    Uncle Bozo Sad but true! Jon wrote amazing songs but had no sense of what the best songs were! Hense shit like Woman In Love being a "main" track on this album and THIS awesome song was left off in most countries! It should have been a single.

    Don't get me started on the Sons of Beaches songs.... Homebound Train and 99 In The Shade were included and Rosie, (original) Love Is War, Growing Up The Hard Way, Love Hurts and Judgement Day were not good enough????!!!!

    J.... ....

    Don't forget Neurotica, Postcards from the Wasteland, Flesh and Bone, Garageland............

  35. 2.... ....

    What a fantastic song - ultimate bon jovi. Why wasn't on all KTF CDs?

  36. u.... ....

    it's very beutifull song but very underated, but they have never sing this song live. so is never promoted like song.

  37. E.... P....

    all we are singing lets give peace a chance jajaja idem

  38. a.... ....

    i love the beginning of the song, amazing!

  39. r.... d....

    this is the same as the released track of the album

  40. c.... ....

    ΑWSOME!

  41. C.... ....

    I love this song
