It's Only A Song

I can not say that I have been a praying man
But there are times that I really wanna pray
I hope good god knows that I still believe in him
I hope good god knows that I'm as good as he is
He will do something to let me stay here
He will do something for me, although
This isn't a prayer, it's only a song
All I want now is my peace
I can not say that I have been a praying man
But there are times that I really feel so brave
I hope good god knows that he has really helped me
I hope good god knows that I will try to pay him back
I have to fight alone in my own battles
I have to cry alone and that
Surely isn't a prayer, it's only a song
All I need now is some rest
Day after bloody day
I'm praying for things that I shouldn't pray
I'm used like a toy that children use to play
And now they order me to go away
Maybe god knows I'm good but now he has forgotten me
I'm alone, there's no time, it's not time for praying
I have to fight alone in my own battles
I have to cry alone and that
Surely isn't a prayer, it's only a song
All I want now is some rest
All I want
All I want
Is some rest
