Prayer for an Innocent Man - Vertical Horizon

Oh won’t you listen O Lord to my plea for justice

Can’t you hear my cry for help

Try to heed my honest prayer

And judge me in my favor

'Cause you know my heart

You have come to me at night

But it’s so hard to speak no evil

In a hole deprived of light

So I pray for you to answer

And to turn to me and smile

Shower me with love to save me From demons deep inside

Protect me as you would your own eyes

In the shadows of your wings

And learn to know the sound that echoes

When an innocent man sings

When an innocent man sings

When he sings

So I lie with all my failures

Praying to my best friend’s ghost

Time to kneel instead of sitting

And let me do thy bidding

Won’t you let me do thy bidding yeah

Help me do thy bidding
