Man on the TV's gone insane, everybody's just laughing,
People 'cross the world holding on.
The earth caved in, the ocean came down crashing,
My neighbor lost his house 'cause he can't find a job.
Don't you dare pledge allegiance?
Don't you dare speak of God?
Speak of God…
Now I'm begging for forgiveness,
I wanna make a difference even in the smallest way.
I'm only one person, but I can feel it working,
I believe in better days,
That's why I pray…
Some stupid video posted as a joke, somebody's life gets ruined.
Out of everything we can create,
Where is the cure to keep the sick from losing?
Babies having babies 'cause their parents are always gone.
Somehow we have forgotten how to make a house a home,
How to make a house a home…
Now I'm begging for forgiveness,
I wanna make a difference even in the smallest way.
I'm only one person, but I can feel it working,
I believe in better days,
That's why I pray, yeah,
That's why I pray, yeah…
These demons from my past haunt me every night
And I just can't get through it,
If I could forget them on my own, I'll let go and just move on
But heaven knows I am only human.
And that's why I pray, yeah, yeah,
That's why I pray, I pray, I pray, I pray.
Yes, I'm begging for forgiveness (I'm begging for forgiveness),
I just wanna make a difference (just wanna make a difference),
I believe (I believe, I believe) in better days,
That's why I pray…
