that's why i pray

oh oh oh oh

oh oh

yeah

man on the tv's gone insane

everybody's just laughing

people 'cross the world holding on

the earth caved in

the ocean came down crashing

my neighbor lost his house 'cause he can't find a job

don't you dare pledge allegiance

don't you dare speak of god

speak of god

oh! oh! oh! oh!

now i'm begging for forgiveness

i wanna make a difference even in the smallest way

i'm only one person

but i can feel it working

i believe in better days

that's why i pray

some stupid video posted as a joke

somebody's life gets ruined

out of everything we can create

where is the cure to keep the sick from losing

babies having babies 'cause their parents are always gone

somehow we have forgotten how to make a house a home

how to make a house a home

oh! oh! yeah! yeah!

i'm begging for forgiveness

i wanna make a difference

even in the smallest way

i'm only one person

but i can feel it working

i believe in better days

that's why i pray

yeah

that's why i pray

yeah

these demons from my past haunt me every night

and i just can't get through it

if i could forget them on my own

i'll let go and just move on

but heaven knows i am only human

and that's why i pray

yeah yeah

that's why i pray

i pray

i pray

i pray

yes i'm begging for forgiveness

i just wanna make a difference

i believe in better days

that's why i pray
