Seal - Prayer For The Dying Lyrics






Fearless people,
Careless needle.
Harsh words spoken,
And lives are broken.
Forceful ageing,
Help me I'm fading.
Heaven's waiting,
It's time to move on.
Crossing that bridge,
With lessons I've learned.
Playing with fire,
And not getting burned.
I may not know what you're going through.
But time is the space,
Between me and you.
Life carries on... it goes on.
Just say die,
And that would be pessimistic.
In your mind,
We can walk across water.
Please don't cry,
It's just a prayer for the dying.
I just don't know what's got into me.
Been crossin' that bridge,
With lessons I've learned.
Playing with fire,
And not getting burned.
I may not know what you're going through,
But time is the space,
Between me and you.
There is a light through that window
Hold on say yes, while people say no
Life carries on
Ohh!
It goes on....oh-ee-oh, whoa-ee-oh ho oh...
I'm crossing that bridge,
With lessons I've learned....
I'm playing with fire,
And not getting burned....
I may not know what you're going through.
But time is the space,
Between me and you.
There is a light through that window.
Hold on say yes, while people say no
Cause life carries on....oh-ee-oh, whoa-ee-oh ho on...
It goes on....oh-ee-on,
It goes on.
Whoa.
Whoa.
Life carries on.
When nothing else matters.
When nothing else matters.
I just don't know what's got into me.
It's just a prayer for the dying.
For the dying.

    The most powerful song to ever exist

  73. L.... M....

    I struggle with severe depression, in some strange way this song is very comforting to me.

    L.... M....

    I glad it helps. Seal is a great soul and the positive energy in this song is healing. Also listen to Des'ree You Gotta Be. I made that video too - and that song has great healing power also. Feel Better. XX

  74. B.... T....

    Ulit border po

  75. J.... G....

    back when MTV used to be all about music

  79. C.... M....

    This man Voice is pure velvet

  80. r.... c....

    love it!

  81. M.... K....

    Seal is just an amazing singer and songwriter. He really is.

  82. M.... T....

    ♥♫♪

  83. N.... T....

    Adorooo!

  84. R.... H....

    I lost my big brother in 2005, my Dad in 2009 and Mom in 2013. I think of them every time I hear this song. This song is uplifting, but haunting. One of my favorites by SEAL. A true classic.

  85. S.... F....

    Dear 90s music,
    Please come back

    Respectfully,
    Everyone

  86. J.... I....

    Beautiful Song! Beautiful Voice! Beautiful Artist!

  87. B.... ....

    It is such a shame that MTV and VH1 became complete sell outs to garbage shows and nonsense. I miss being a kid/teen and turning on either channels and listening to actual music.

  88. D.... W....

    I love Seal. I would also like to point out that there is a much deeper chord to the magic behind this song. This whole album has purple undertones. You can hear them stronger in Kiss From A Rose. Wendy and Lisa (of Prince & The Revolution) produced this album for Seal, which is why the guitar (Wendy) & piano (Lisa) melodies are so haunting. (More haunting melodies can be heard from them in Song About, where they lament over Prince breaking up the Revolution, after the Parade album. ( https://youtu.be/UYAXTKgpn5g ) Another interesting fact is that kiss from a rose was from the then current release of Batman. Ironically, the 1st ever Batman soundtrack was composed, arranged, produced and performed by Prince. And........ The first song Prince ever learned to play was the theme from the 1960's TV show, Batman. Too crazy, but 100% facts.

  89. L.... Y....

    Besides Seal being Sexy, Does Anyone Listen To Lyrics Anymore?????
