Didn’t Have A Prayer - 2001 Version

[Verse 1]
I used to take comfort from the loneliness with whiskey
It tore up my soul and it turned against me
I stood at the fire with my hand on a knife
Didn't have a prayer to save my life

[Verse 2]
I stood at the crossroads with tears in my eyes
I'd come as far as I could bring me now, I could not live and I could not die
There was darkness all around me, no sun in the sky
Didn't have a prayer to save my life

[Chorus]
I wasn't lookin' for an angel to come down from the sky
I've come to believe what I see with my eyes
I wasn't lookin' for nothin' but love from the start
I need to get me, got to find me, I got to have me a little peace in my heart

[Verse 3]
I stood in spiritual rags blinded by the dust of pride
Poisoned by my own cold, cold heart and the shallow reign of my life
In the distance there was thunder, I saw the lightning strike twice
Threw out a little prayer
Threw out a little prayer
I threw out a little prayer not expecting a reply
