That's Why I Pray

Man on the TV's gone insane

Everybody's just laughin'

People 'cross the world holdin' on

The earth caved in, the ocean came down crashin'

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 beggin' for forgiveness

I wanna make a difference

Even in the smallest way

I'm only one person

But I can feel it workin'

I believe in better days

That's why I pray, yeah

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 losin'?

Babies havin' 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, yeah, yeah

I'm beggin' for forgiveness

I wanna make a difference

Even in the smallest way

I'm only one person

But I can feel it workin'

I believe in better days

That's why I pray, yeah

Hey, that's why I pray, yeah

There's demons from my past

That haunt me every night

And I just can't get through it

If I could forget them on my own

I'd let go and just move on

But Heaven knows, I am only human

And that's why I pray, yeah

That's why I pray, I pray, I pray, I pray

Yes, I'm beggin' for forgiveness (I'm beggin' for forgiveness)

I just wanna make a difference (Just wanna make a difference)

I believe (I believe), I believe in better days

That's why I pray
