A Prayer for the Unborn Lyrics by Gary Numan

Scarred

2000

[Verse 1]
So, I prayed but you weren't listening
Making miracles?
So, I begged but you were far away
Saving souls perhaps?
So, I screamed but she was very small
And you have worlds to mend
So, she died and you were glorious
But you were somewhere else
[Chorus 1]
If you are my shepherd
Then I'm lost and no-one can find me
If you are my saviour
Then I'm dead and no-one can help me
If you are my glory
Then I'm sick and no-one can cure me
If you light my darkness
Then I'm blind and no-one can see me
[Chorus 2]
If you are my father
Then love lies abandoned and bleeding
If you are my comfort
Then nightmares are real and deceiving
If you are my answer
Then I must have asked the wrong question
I'd spit on your heaven
If I could find one to believe in
