Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah

Man on the TV's gone insane

Everybody's just laughing

People across 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, oh, oh, oh, oh

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 get 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, oh, oh, yeah, yeah

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 forgive them on my own

I'll let go and just move on

But heaven knows I am only human

That's why I pray, 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)

In better days, that's why I pray
