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

But maybe I'm just wishin'

'Cause I can't even prove he's there



(chorus)

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



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



(2nd Chorus)

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
