I had ev'rything, lost it all.
I built towers of gold, watched em fall.
I tried my best
But I guess my best just wasn't good enough.
I made promises. Broke em.
I've laid loved ones lives wide open.
And I've got a broken heart but I've come this far
And I ain't givin up.
I pray for a stronger back.
I pray for a bigger heart.
I pray for the will to keep on walkin when the way is dark.
I follow that windin road just tryin to stay on track.
I don't pray for a lighter load I pray for a stronger back.
I've seen losers get a second chance
I've seen miracles from happenstance.
I've seen long shots come from way behind
To win the race.
And I've dreams blow up in a cloud of smoke.
It's a world of pain, it's a world of hope.
And it's dark right now but I know somehow
Some day the sun will find some way to shine down on my face.
I pray for a stronger back.
I pray for a bigger heart.
I pray for the will to keep on walkin when the way is dark.
I follow that windin road just tryin to stay on track.
I don't pray for a lighter load I pray for a stronger back.
I follow that windin road just tryin to stay on track.
I don't pray for a lighter load I pray for a stronger back.
