So close yet so far away

From where I wanted to be

I can ' t seem to notice just how far I ' ve come

And I don ' t need to reduce it at all

The things you ' ve done for me

But I swear sometimes I feel I ' m out here alone

So tonight I lay me down

And send up another prayer

Ask for guidance and forgiveness

And hope that someone ' s there

To hear another plead from me

For another ray of hope

' Cause it feels like I ' m out here all alone

I can ' t be the only one

That ' s ever felt this way

All I know is it sure feels that way tonight

And I don ' t mean to bother you

With my troubled day

When there ' s a world full of things that still ain ' t right

So tonight I lay me down

And send up another prayer

Ask for guidance and forgiveness

And hope that someone ' s there

To hear another plead from me

For another ray of hope

' Cause it feels like I ' m out here all alone

And here ' s another plead from me

For another ray of hope

' Cause it feels like I ' m out here all alone
