Pray for all the Lonely

Pray for all the lonely

Nobody comes to call

No deliveries and no children

Nobody comes at all

Pray for all the lonely 

You know what sadness can bring

Think of something...anything

To make their lonely hearts sing

Grab the morning paper

There’s no time to be blue

That cup of coffee says to them

I'm lonely just like you

Treat the countless older ones

As if they were you kin

One day girl it could be you

It's time you should begin

Hearing tales of war and peace

Of love and wedding rings

You’ll learn a thing or maybe two

And that’s not a bad thing

Next time when you’re out to play

Think how blessed you really are

Pray for all the lonely ones

So near and yet so far

Pray for all the lonely ones

So near and yet so far...

Pray for all the lonely ones 
How lucky you really are... 
how lucky you really are.
