ray of hope

so close yet so far away

from where i wanted to be

i can't seem to notice just how far i've come

and i don't need to reduce it at all

the things you've done for me

but i swear sometimes i feel i'm out here alone

so tonight i lay me down

and send up another prayer

ask for guidance and forgiveness

and hope that someone's there

to hear another plead from me

for another ray of hope

'cause it feels like i'm out here all alone

i can't be the only one

that's ever felt this way

all i know is it sure feels that way tonight

and i don't mean to bother you

with my troubled day

when there's a world full of things that still ain't right

so tonight i lay me down

and send up another prayer

ask for guidance and forgiveness

and hope that someone's there

to hear another plead from me

for another ray of hope

'cause it feels like i'm out here all alone

and here's another plead from me

for another ray of hope

'cause it feels like i'm out here all alone
