USA

I pray

Let us pray

I pray for hope

I pray for strength

I pray we land with both feet on the ground

I pray for health

I pray for joy

I pray for peace the whole wide world around

I pray that what four years ago was lost

Can finally be found

Today

Oh I pray

I pray

I pray that second chances mean

That something better always was in store

I pray that any nerves we feel

Are small enough that we can just ignore

I pray that I don't get a wedgie

When I'm in the middle of the floor

That's not the sort of thing you're supposed to say

But still I pray

I pray

And I pray while I'm at it

For a Russian girl to bobble

If not outright fall

And I pray while I'm at it

That they'll make my hair longer

If Mattel ever makes me a doll

And I pray while I'm at it

For good pizza in Atlanta

To scarf down once we've won it all

Or if not good

Then better than okay

Okay

And I pray back home

There's a guy who's watching what I'm about to do

And when I land in Cincinnati

He'll call me up out of the blue

And tell me in his awkward way

Something like, I'm proud of you

And I can tell him, Thanks, you know what

I am pretty proud of me, too

And then hang up 'cause I don't need some dude

To tell me what I always knew

I know it might not seem like much

But I still pray it will come true

But I guess for now until we're through

I pray for grace

I pray for gold

I pray Mariah Carey's watching this

I pray for flight

I pray for first

I pray we make it through without a miss

I pray that in four years we'll watch together

And laugh and reminisce

After we have all gone our own way

Someday

I pray

I pray
