Pray for Love

1st verse:

It's just another day, waking up with my alarm clock ringing for work/ gotta get up and get ready to make it on time as a sales associate clerk/ one of the lucky few, I suppose, to get an old english amount of hours a week/ not sure how anyone can pay their bills with anything less, the future looks bleak/ 'cause the interest rates are rising and debt is an all too common thing/ It's hard to believe that we can escape our government's hand when we haven't vowed to give them a ring/ but they take nearly half the money we earn and give it to those who don't even lift a finger/ they just sit back and shop online, while our hardships just linger/ in the rooms we rent, that we can barely even afford/ no wonder so many people try to put their faith in the Lord/ or a higher power that might help them to get through the day/ 'cause it's a struggle when you gotta pay the church just to pray/ I still don't know who "they" are, but they say to go to school to get a good job, then have a family and kids/ well that costs more than what most people make, so how are we really suppose to live?/ The grocery store charges more for basic necessities than our dollar is worth/ so is it really a blessing with a new born's birth?/

2nd verse:

That's another mouth to break your back just to feed/ another broken heart that will beat and bleed/ 'cause the wounds we carry with us each and every day of our life/ never seem to fully heal, and maybe that's why some of us find peace in the knife/ That can be a hard pill to swallow, and those too can put an end to the pain/ I just wish I could have helped my aunt see another way through the rain/ 'cause these thoughts of mine have been pouring down on the page/ maybe if she hadn't taken her own life, I wouldn't feel abandoned in this cage/ of self doubt and darkness that's been tearing me apart from the inside out/ I'll never feel her love again, so I pray and try to stay honest and devout/ to those who still believe in me and give me purpose/ 'cause without them, nothing I do positive would be the furthest/ from making this life of mine, or any of yours seem like it matters/ so hold on to the love you find, even among the thorns where rose buds gather/ 'cause we don't get too many chances at keeping love for long/ and if you've found it, or are still searching, may you feel it in this song/
