00:02The song was The Pretender.
00:32When I pack my lunch in the morning
00:35And go to work each day
00:40When the evening rolls around
00:45I'll go home and lay my body down
00:49And when the morning light comes streaming in
00:54I'll get up and play again
00:56Amen, say it again
01:00Amen
01:03I want to know what became of the changes
01:07We waited for love to bring
01:13Were they only the fitful dreams
01:16Of some greater awakening
01:22I've been aware of the time going by
01:25They say in the end
01:28It's the wink of an eye
01:31When the morning light comes streaming in
01:35I'll get up and play again
01:39Yeah
01:42Again
01:44Between the longing for love
01:47And the struggle for the legal tender
01:53Where the sirens sing
01:56And the church bells ring
01:58And the young man pounds a slender
02:01While the veterans scream of the fire
02:07Fast asleep at the traffic light
02:11But the children solemnly wait for the ice cream tender
02:20Out into the cool of the evening
02:24Strolls the pretender
02:29He knows that all his hopes and dreams
02:33Begin and end it
02:45I'm the lover of the lovers
02:48As they run through the night
02:54Leaving nothing
02:56Leaving nothing but to choose off and fight
03:01And tear up the world with all their might
03:06While the sirens carry their dreams
03:11Sail on and slide
03:16I'm gonna find myself a girl
03:19Who'd show me what left to be
03:25And we'll fill in the missing colors
03:29In each other's paint by number dreams
03:34And we'll put our dark glasses on
03:38And we'll make love until our strength is gone
03:43When the morning light comes streaming in
03:48We'll get up and do it again
03:52Get up again
03:57I'm gonna be a happy idiot
04:00And struggle for the legal tender
04:06Where the edge they came
04:09And lay their claim
04:11To the heart and the soul of the stem
04:14And believe in what other men love
04:19In those things that money can buy
04:24Though true love could help
04:29Be a contender
04:33Are you there?
04:36Say I pray for the pretender
04:42Who started out so young and strong
04:46Only to surrender
04:51Say I pray
05:00Are you there?
05:03Are you there?
05:09Say I pray for the pretender
05:17Are you there?
05:22Say I pray for the pretender
05:30Say a prayer for the pretender
05:35Are you there for the pretender?
05:49Say a prayer

06:25Thank you
