Big & Rich - That's Why I Pray Lyrics






Oh oh oh oh, oh oh, yeah

Man on the TV's gone insane, everybody's just laughing
People 'cross 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 gets 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 forget them on my own, I'll let go and just move on
But heaven knows I am only human

And that's why I pray, yeah 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

  11. A.... H....

    I do pray. I pray for everything. God is worth it. Even though it's Easter weekend. We are going to worship God. It's because Jesus came back to life for his ressurection and he was teaching us how to love and to pray. Those were the reason to live. We all should love one another. Even though we are have lives to live. There is faith and hope. Love and dying. All we have to do is pray. Keep praying everyone. Pray for everything that we do live for. I will keep on praying.

  12. G.... P....

    These two guys put out the the strongest,most beautiful sound I have ever heard.....I have been around for 62 years..

    ...I THINK THIS IS A WONDERFUL MESSAGE...THERE IS A MOVEMENT ALREADY STARTED THAT WILL DEAL WITH THE WORLD'S DISINGENUOUS.....BUCKLE YOUR SEAT BELTS...!!..👏👍😎

  81. j.... ....

    Ok. love the music. but why do they wear sunglasses indoors, but not outdoors?

    j.... ....

    Because they can...and feel comfortable in their skin

  82. s.... ....

    Doth not nature itself teach you that if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?

    Men need to cut their hair short. The bible and just common sense says you look shameful when your hair is long and you're a man. And on the flip side women need to stop cutting their hair short like men and growing it out and look like women like God said to. That's what the bible says

    s.... ....

    @somezealotCephas If you keep that passage in context, you will see that Paul is overall speaking about cultural customs. That is not a command, but a cultural custom that Corinth practiced.

  83. K.... G....

    I'm praying for peace, unity and wisdom to come to the streets of Baltimore, Maryland. Let goodness and mercy dwell there tonight.

    K.... G....

    @Kaira Gandy I hope you get 1M+ likes to your comment!  You seem like a beautiful person!

    K.... G....

    And thibgs like this is when many don't understand "Free will" but they will continue to say they don't believe because they choose to not to give God a chance even though he gave us all many, two big ones and Jesus didn't have to die for our sins either, but I'm glad he did just to vs able to have heard one singer, she does three main genres, NU metal, jazz, pop and a lot more in the rock and metal sub-genres snd how i like country and so many other genres, idk, i may mention her name on here some other time, but I'm not here to advertise. :)

  84. h.... ....

    Such a beautiful song!!!

  85. D.... S....

    When we face GOD he will not ask you what kind of car did you have, he will ask you how many people did you give a ride to that needed one

    D.... S....

    I like that

    D.... S....

    he'll ask, "Do you know my Son?"

    D.... S....

    Waldo Miller is correct

    D.... S....

    Your good works in Christ Jesus will be tested in the fire and you will be rewarded according to those works. Hopefully you are doing all to the glory of God!

  86. J.... M....

    I love the part don't you dare pledge allegence don't you dare speak of God. That reminds me of my favorite teacher who prayed with me in her classroom. Thanks Coach Adams

    K.... T....

    In highschool(when this song came out), I sang this song in my truck and I always felt a sinking feeling in my heart, at that part. Simply cause I couldnt comprehend such hardships to truly drive me from God. That is, until I lost my military/FD careers, the girl I loved more than anyone, my house, many family members, my health, and partially, my sanity. I never denied God's existence, but He showed me what it takes to create such doubt in yourself and your complete existence. I still have yet to figure out why I had to endure these trials, but I can only hope and trust that it is for a good reason. I figure I got nothing to lose. I cant be like everyone else. All I literally have, is God. Without Him, I got nothing.
