Stronger Back

I had everything, lost it all I built ties of gold, an' watched 'em fall I tried my best but I guess my best Just wasn't good enough I made promises and broke 'em I've laid loved ones lives wide open And I've got a broken heart But I've come this far, and I ain't givin' up I pray for a stronger back I pray for a bigger heart I pray for the will to keep on walking When the way is dark I follow that winding road Just try to stay on track I don't pray for a lighter load I pray for a stronger back I've seen losers get a second chance I've seen miracles and happenstance I've seen long shots come from way behind To win the race And I've had dreams blow up in a cloud of smoke It's a world of pain, it's a world of hope And it's dark right now, but I know somehow Some day, the sun will find a way to shine down on my face I pray for a stronger back I pray for a bigger heart I pray for the will to keep on walking When the way is dark I follow that winding road Just try to stay on track I don't pray for a lighter load I pray for a stronger back I follow that winding road Just try to stay on track I don't pray for a lighter load I pray for a stronger back
