Lyrics Prayers - Stephen Kellogg

So your life did not work out the way you wanted, join the club
The success the others flaunted
Killed off your remaining buzz
Nothing like you thought you'd be
Believe me I've been there too
When life brings you to your knees
And you feel like you can't move
Know that this is true

Every unkind thing we say
Leads to our unhappiness
No one in the world gets by
Without feeling bad sometimes
And I'm not trying to be a jerk
But say your prayers
Get off your ass
And get back to work

Those who stand for nothing
Never win much in the end
Just because you don't offend 'em
Doesn't mean that they're your friends
You thought logic would prevail
That the facts would tell the tale
But from what I've seen, they'll wear
Blind obedience like a veil
Still this rule never fails

That every unkind thing we say
Only drives the love away
No one in the world gets by
Without feeling bad sometimes
And I'm not trying to be a jerk
But say your prayers
Get off your ass
And get back to work
And there's nothing like a dogfight
Where everybody thinks they're right
To remind us that a prayer is not an answer, just a light
Even if you're only getting by
Start to wonder why you even try
Say the things you need to say

But if the words won't come to you
Clear your head and tell the truth
No one in the world gets by
Without feeling bad sometimes
And I'm not trying to be a jerk
But say your prayers
Get off your ass
And get back to work
