[Verse]
CI had ev'rything, Glost it all
I Cbuilt towers of gold, Fwatched em fall
AmI tried my best
But I gFuess my best just wasn't gGood enough
CI made promises. BGroke em
CI've laid loved ones lives wide Fopen
And I've got a Ambroken heart but I've cFome this far
And I ain't gGivin up
[Chorus]
I pray for a Fstronger back, I pray for a bCigger heart
I pray for the Gwill to keep on wFalkin when the Cway is dark
I follow that wFindin road just tryin to sAmtay on track
I don't pray for a lFighter load I Gpray for a stronger Cback
[Verse]
CI've seen losers get a sGecond chance
CI've seen miracles from Fhappenstance
AmI've seen long shots Fcome from way behind To Gwin the race
CAnd I've dreams bGlow up in a cloud of smoke
It's a world of pain, it's a world of hope
CAnd it's dark right now Fbut I know somehow
Some Dmday the sun will Cfind some way to Fshine down on my Gface
[Chorus]
I pray for a sFtronger back
I pray for a Cbigger heart
I pray for the Gwill to keep on Fwalkin when the way is Cdark
I follow that Fwindin road just tryin to Amstay on track
I don't pray for a Flighter load I Gpray for a stronger Cback
FI follow that windin road just tryin to Amstay on track
I don't pray for a Flighter load I pray for a stronger Cback
