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
