[Verse 1]
I turned on the news today
The South’s underwater, the west is in flames
Another mom and pop shop shut down
A new drug tearing up another town
It’s hard to see clear when the world’s scared straight
Hard to find love when they only sell hate
Yeah we fight but we don’t know what for
It’s even worse than the day before
[Chorus]
Tonight I lay me down to sleep
But I ain’t gonna make this one about me
Yeah I’ve got my wants and I’ve got my complaints
But it looks like you got a whole lot on your plate
‘Cause I’m looking out at a world on fire
It’s in your hands but they must be tired
I know I don’t see it the way that you do
And I know you don’t need it but God, I’m prayin’ for you
[Verse 2]
I thought I knew what a heartbreak was
From failed hail Mary’s to hard breakups
Yeah, you know those who broke me in two
So I can’t imagine what you’re going through
With the love you’ve got, Lord it’s gotta be hard
To see this mess and how lost we are
[Chorus]
So tonight I lay me down to sleep
But I ain’t gonna make this one about me
Yeah I’ve got my wants and I’ve got my complaints
But it looks like you got a whole lot on your plate
‘Cause I’m looking out at a world on fire
It’s in your hands but they must be tired
I know I don’t see it the way that you do
And I know you don’t need it but God, I’m prayin’ for
[Bridge]
And I know that you’re busy up there
You got a plan, yeah there ain’t no doubt
I guess all I can ask down here
Is can you help me help you out
[Chorus]
Tonight I lay me down to sleep
But I ain’t gonna make this one about me
Yeah I’ve got my wants and I’ve got my complaints
But it looks like you got a whole lot on your plate
‘Cause I’m looking out at a world on fire
It’s in your hands but they must be tired
I know I don’t see it the way that you do
And I know you don’t need it but God, I’m prayin’ for you
And I know you don’t need it but God, I’m prayin’ for you
And I know you don’t need it but God, I’m prayin’ for you
