The Prayer Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Lord, give me grace and dancing feet
And the power to impress
Lord, give me grace and dancing feet
Let me outshine them all
[Pre-Chorus]
Is it so wrong to crave recognition?
Second best, runner-up
Is it so wrong to want rewarding
To want more than is given to you? Than is given to you
[Chorus]
Tonight make me unstoppable
And I will charm, I will slice
I will dazzle them with my wit
Tonight make me unstoppable
And I will charm, I will slice
I will dazzle, I will outshine them all
[Verse 2]
Standing on the packed dance floor
Our bodies throb in time
Silent on the weekdays
Tonight I claim what's mine
[Pre-Chorus]
Is it so wrong to crave recognition?
Second best, runner-up
Is it so wrong to want rewarding
To want more than is given to you?
Than is given to you
[Chorus]
Tonight make me unstoppable
And I will charm, I will slice
I will dazzle them with my wit
Tonight make me unstoppable
And I will charm, I will slice
I will dazzle, I will outshine them all
[Chorus]
Tonight make me unstoppable
And I will charm, I will slice
I will dazzle them with my wit
Tonight make me unstoppable
And I will charm, I will slice
I will dazzle, I will outshine them all
