Pray for Them

Some go to hell, they haven't got a prayer,
for some poor lonely souls--no one to pray,
if no one else has any prayer to spare,
can I still save them by the prayers I say?

At Fatima Mary appeared and said,
they go like leaves that fall down from the trees,
because for them no prayers before they’re dead,
they fall, for no one falling on their knees.

So let me bring my little sacrifice
for all those still who have no requiem,
I'll try to pray a prayer to pay the price
for those who have no one to pray for them.

I pray the brink of my eternity
brings some in turn who’ll pray a prayer for me.
