Prayers Songtext
von Stephen Kellogg

So your life did not work out the way you wanted, join the club
The success the others flaunted killed off your remaining buzz
Nothing like you thought you′d be
Believe me I've been there too
When life brings you to your knees, and you feel like you can′t move
Know that this is true
Every unkind thing we say leads to our unhappiness

No one in the world gets by without feeling bad sometimes

I'm not trying to be a jerk
But say your prayers, get off your ass and get back to work


Those who stand for nothing never win much in the end
Just because you don't offend ′em
Doesn′t mean that they're your friends
You thought logic would prevail, that the facts would tell the tale
But from what I′ve seen they'll wear their blind obedience like a veil
Still this rule never fails
That every unkind thing we say only drives the love away
No one in the world gets by without feeling bad sometimes
And I′m not trying to be a jerk
But say your prayers, get off your ass and get back to work

And there's nothing like a dog fight
Where everybody thinks they′re right

To remind us that a prayer is not an answer, just a light

Even if you're only getting by, start to wonder why you even try

Say the things you need to say

But if the words won't come to you

Clear your head and tell the truth

No one in the world gets by without feeling bad sometimes

And I′m not trying to be a jerk

But say your prayers, get off your ass and get back to work
