Every
night you pray,
you pray to find a way
To get into what you really want to do
And say what you want to say
You help all you can,
you help your fellow man
But you never find help
of any kind
when you're sinking in the sand
It takes a little longer
to grow a little stronger
And it takes a little time
before you make up your mind
And you try a little harder
to get a little smarter
Till you find out in the end
that you haven't got a
friend
You wait for the day
when the lark will come your way
But each day you find
you keep a -runnin' out of time
While your luck, it slips away
You try from the start
To find the lucky card
That'll win you all you've
been searchin' for
But to find the card is hard
Cause it takes a little longer
To grow a little stronger
And it takes a little time
Before you make up your mind
And you try a little harder
to get a little smarter
Till you find out in the end
that you haven't got a
friend
It takes a little longer
to grow a little stronger
And it takes a little time
before you make up your mind
And you try a little harder
to get a little smarter
Till you find out in the end
that you haven't got a friend
Yes, it takes a little longer
to grow a little stronger
And it takes a little time
before you make up your mind
And you try a little harder
To get a little smarter
Till you find out you're dead
