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
