I used to pray for things that I don't need
Trouble God with all my vanities
I used to pray for things that I shouldn't want
I meant to say thanks but I forgot
Now I pray for healing, I pray for peace
I pray for healing for you and me
I used to pray that all my bills got paid
And that we'd get safely to the shows we played
I used to think I didn't have enough
Now I give 'cause I know I've got so much
And I pray for healing, oh Lord, oh, send relief
I pray for healing, this time it's not for me, no
I used to pray my kids would grow up happy
Now I pray they grow up at all
But I refuse to let these fears devour me
'Cause I know it won't be long
Before we're standing tall again, tall again
I used to pray when I had the time
But now I find myself praying all the time
Now all the things that I used to pray for
Suddenly don't mean a thing no more
'Cause now I pray for healing, I pray for peace
I pray for healing for you
And for you, and for you
(I pray for you and you and you, I pray for you)
I pray for you as I pray for me
Pray for peace, pray for peace
