When you're down on your luck
And you need a helping hand
But you don't know who to trust
Seems like no one understands

You look around and see the world has turned it's back on you
And only heaven knows when what you seek will ever come
So you look up

Till you get what you pray for
All those nights on your kness crying yourself to sleep
As you wait for anything to change
Praying your heart can be patient (patient)
Praying the way doesn't break you
You try to be grateful
Till you get what you pray for

Oh oh oh oh
Till you get what you pray for
Oh oh oh oh

When you're outside looking in
And you feel like no one sees
You give your best but never win
Too far to taste that victory

When you’re down and find the world has turned it’s back on you
And only heaven knows if anymore will ever come
So you look up

Till you get what you pray for
All those nights on your kness crying yourself to sleep
As you wait for anything to change
Praying your heart can be patient (patient)
Praying the way doesn't break you
You try to be grateful
Till you get what you pray for

Oh oh oh oh
Till you get what you pray for
Oh oh oh oh
