"Prayin' For You" lyrics

"Prayin' For You"

I turned on the news today
The south's underwater
The west is in flames
Another mom and pop shop shut down
A new drug tearing up another town
It's hard to see clear
When the world's scared straight
Hard to find love
When they sell only hate
Yeah we fight but we don't know what for
It's even worse than the day before

Tonight I lay me down to sleep
But I ain't gonna make this one about me
Yeah I've got my wants, and I've got my complaints
But it looks like you got a whole lot on your plate
Cause I'm looking out at a world on fire
It's in your hands but they must be tired
I know I don't see it the way that you do
And I know you don't need it
But God, I'm prayin' for you

I thought I knew what a heartbreak was
From failed hail mary's, to hard breakups
Yeah, you know those broke me in two
So I can't imagine what you're going through
With the love you've got, Lord it's gotta be hard
To see this mess and how lost we are

Tonight I lay me down to sleep
But I ain't gonna make this one about me
Yeah I've got my wants, and I've got my complaints
But it looks like you got a whole lot on your plate
Cause I'm looking out at a world on fire
It's in your hands but they must be tired
I know I don't see it the way that you do
And I know you don't need it
But God, I'm prayin' for you

And I know you're busy up there
You got a plan, there ain't no doubt
I guess all I can ask down here
Is can you help me help you out

Tonight I lay me down to sleep
But I ain't gonna make this one about me
Yeah I've got my wants, and I've got my complaints
But it looks like you got a whole lot on your plate
Cause I'm looking out at a world on fire
It's in your hands but they must be tired
I know I don't see it the way that you do
And I know you don't need it
But God, I'm prayin' for you

And I know you don't need it
But God, I'm prayin' for you
God, I'm prayin' for you
