Lyrics

The key is only, only prayer
The key is always, always there

The key to the problem
Is in the hand of God
Not work, only prayer
Not education,
Not common sense
The key is only prayer

Does it feel like your wasting time
Doesn't it feel strange
Do prayers just spin round in space
When there's an answer
What will you say?
The key is only prayer

When a crisis comes in another's life
Are you there?
When a crisis comes in another's life
Are you there?
Are you there?
Are you there?

The key is only, only prayer
The key is always, always there
