Tim Ponzek - All the Prayers Lyrics

My life feels like it's slipping away
Slipping right through these hands as they pray
Praying for a tomorrow without a want or a need
I wake up every morning trying so hard to believe

Please don't think I can't do anything right
When all I've ever done is work hard all my life
Like so many who are reaching out, trying to find a helping hand
I want to rise up on my own two feet and stand

My life feels like it's slipping away
Slipping right through these hands as they pray
Praying for a tomorrow without a want or a need
I wake up every morning trying so hard to believe

Please don't think I can't do anything right
When all I've ever done is work hard all my life
Like so many who are reaching out, trying to find a helping hand
I want to rise up on my own two feet and stand

But I need all the prayers I can get
To make a better life for my family
The life I haven't made for them yet
Start living that life of hope, not this life of regret
But I need all the prayers I can get

Don't talk like there's a job I won't do
If there's a wage we can live on, I'll work my whole life through
If it means I can get my family back into our home
Work hard, earn a living and pay off every loan

But I need all the prayers I can get
To make a better life for my family
The life I haven't made for them yet
Start living that life of hope, not this life of regret
But I need all the prayers I can get

Just look around there are so many of us in trouble
Whose dreams have burst inside this bubble
We are a land of honest hard-working women and men
We can make this country strong again

But we need all the prayers we can get
To make a better life for our families
The life we haven't made for them yet
Start living that life of hope, not this life of regret
But we need all the prayers we can get
We need all the prayers we can get
