A Minute to Rest and a Second to Pray (Featuring Ben Harper)
Though my heart is heavy with grief My faith is strong, bring me relief Sometimes my dreams are closer Sometimes my feelings are so far away You've got a minute to rest and a second to pray
Now I've got to fall down on my knees You can face the west, you can face the east My tired eyes can see the coming of a better day You've got a minute to rest and a second to pray A minute to rest and a second to pray
It's the last thing you hear The first thing you fear The sign of the wasted years And the pain with those tears
Battles across the ocean, battles outside my door When night falls upon me, falls upon my mind Before I'd lay, before I'd lay, before I'd lay I take a minute to rest and a second to pray
You get a minute to rest, just a second to pray You get a minute to rest and a second to pray You get a minute to rest and a second to pray You get a minute to rest and a second to pray
Pray with the women you love Pray that the heaven's above You got a second, you got a minute to rest Get it in your mind, take up the time
You got a second to pray Don't think about yesterday Take a minute to rest, take a second to pray You only got a minute to rest, to rest, to rest, to rest
