Album: Make It Right
Richard's life was lousy
Since he was seventeen
When he finished high school
He loaded trucks and pumped some gasoline
Thought the Navy would help him get smart
What he got was a broken heart
But on the day we met
I'd have sworn that he was alright
But he said, "Say a prayer for me tonight"
Well, he came to see the band and me
We hit it off just fine
I could see he had a dark side
Oh, he had a troubled mind
It's so odd now when I recall
To see him standing in the concert hall
I sang "The Party's Over"
And he turned off the light
Say a prayer for me tonight
You never know someone's heart
You never know how they feel
Deepest dumps or the highest heights
Blackest black or the whitest white
Say a prayer for me tonight
Richard was a private guy
With a desperate soul
It was a life-taking loneliness
That his friends could not console
He parked his truck in the pale moonlight
Pulled the trigger and he gave up the fight
And in that lonely place
His words cut like a knife
Say a prayer for me tonight
There's a God up in heaven
Who hears your every single word
Yeah, He knows how you feel
Oh, and though it sounds absurd
Say a prayer in your darkest night
Say a prayer in your bright sunlight
And say a prayer when you're weak
And you haven't the nerve to fight
Say a prayer for me tonight
Say a prayer for me
You never know someone's heart
You never know how they feel
Deepest dumps or the highest heights
Blackest black or the whitest white
Say a prayer for me tonight

KENNY told the story of how he wrote this song. He wrote it and told it from his heart. I have never forgotten the song or the story. Thanks Kenny for sharing the importance of the chances God gives - Jul 2021
