I had everything  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
