Lyrics

Times are tough and getting tougher still
Every road is rough - every step's uphill
Clingin' tight to our hopes and dreams
Hopin' someday to know what happiness means

There's a great divide - tween us'n them
Need to find the harmony again
can we set aside who's right or wrong
love one another and get along

Chorus
I'm praying for America
to cure those blues that break our hearts
I'm prayin' for America
that we can mend the bonds we tore apart
Where would we be today
If this nation never stopped prayin' for America

Everything to loose'n - even more to gain
can we invite love in outta the rain
If we could just reach out with a helping hand
try'n walk in the shoes'n of the other man

Chorus
I'm praying for America
to cure those blues that break our hearts
I'm prayin' for America
that we can mend the bonds we tore apart
Where would we be today
If this nation never stopped prayin' for America

I know the devil wants to change my mind
But tween hate and love - I choose love every time

Chorus
I'm praying for America
to cure those blues that break our hearts
I'm prayin' for America
that we can mend the bonds we tore apart
Where would we be today
If this nation never stopped prayin' for America

Chorus
I'm praying for America
to cure those blues that break our hearts
I'm prayin' for America
that we can mend the bonds we tore apart
Where would we be today
If this nation never stopped prayin' for America
