I can't quote the Bible I skipped Sunday school And I can't count the times I fell and broke the Golden Rule So I don't know if he listens Sometimes I wonder if he cares Maybe I'm just wishing 'Cause I can't even prove he's there Chourus: But I pray He'll watch over my children I pray Just to be a better man To find the strength to rise above To be there for the ones I love To forgive and be forgiven some sweet day I pray Now I confess that I don't bow my head as often as I should Mostly just when times are bad, rarely when they're good And I don't hold with too much preachin' But I was raised up to believe That a man can't ever stand as tall As when he gets down on his knees Chourus: But I pray He'll watch over my children I pray Just to be a better man To find the strength to rise above To be there for the ones I love To forgive and be forgiven some sweet day I pray Chorus 2: So I pray For a world that's gone half crazy I pray For every woman child and man To find the strength to rise above To teach each other how to love To forgive and be forgiven some sweet day I pray I pray
