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 us safe 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’m begging for forgiveness)

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

I believe (I believe) in better days

That’s why I pray
