Once upon a time a child
Grew up too fast, went runnin' wild
Now he don't know who to pray to anymore
I once thought God was good and kind
Then mother nature blew my mind
And left my broken body on the floor
Now I don't know who to pray to anymore

But when the world gets real
And I start to feel
The first thing I do
Is turn to you
And then pull away
Until comes the day
Where I just can't live
And learn to forgive

I've got a song that needs to be sung
But I don't know who to play to anymore
We bet away what's in our hand
And then we're told it was the plan
They say all's fair, but someone's keeping score
I've seen it all, I've seen the lies
False promises for compromise
Fought every battle, but still I lost the war
Now I don't know who to pray to anymore

But when the world gets real
And I start to feel
The first thing I do
Is turn to you
And then pull away
Until comes the day
Where I just can't live
And learn to forgive

I know I've changed
Can't find my way
When all is dark
Or is it my heart
That won't come to the light
I'm bad to myself
As a show for you to see
So maybe you'll agree
That you should have been there more for me

Got an old guitar that needs to be strung
But I don't know who to play to anymore
So why should I still believe
When everyone's out to deceive
And all our dreams get washed back on the shore

And fate will prove to be most cruel
Yet hope remains for the helpless fool
Pawns of selfish right & righteous wrong
No I don't know who to pray to anymore
I don't know who to pray to anymore
