A Prayer for Jane

With her headphones on, she disappears

Into a world with no restrictions

Alone in her room in her parents' house

Waiting for love to recognize her

Her mother is downstairs miles away

Pouring a drink to dull the ache

She thinks to herself, "My baby’s just like me

Please, don't let her make the same mistakes"

If you're lonely, say a prayer for Jane

She’s the spirit of a young girl's heart

Light a candle in the pouring rain

When you feel the pain

Say a prayer for Jane

2 AM as prearranged

She sneaks down the hall and out of the door

They're running away in her boyfriend's car

The moment they've been waiting for

Free as the wind blowing in her hair

Driving as fast as a love could go

Outta control on a dead man's curve

The phone rings and her mother answers:

"No, no, no! Not my baby, no!"

If you're lonely, say a prayer for Jane

She's the spirit of a young girl’s heart

Light a candle in the pouring rain

When you feel the pain

Say a prayer for Jane

She left on the message on the bathroom mirror

Lipstick on the mirror said:

"Mommy, I love you, but

You’ve just gotta let me go

Can we talk about it tomorrow?"

If you're lonely, say a prayer for Jane

She’s the spirit of a young girl's heart

Light a candle in the pouring rain

When you feel the pain

(Feel the pain)

Oh, say a prayer for Jane

She's the spirit of a young girl's heart

Light a candle in the pouring rain

When you feel the pain

Remember Jane
