All I see is the truth now That's all I want you to know That I'll never turn my back on you And leave you out there on your own I could never hide my feelings I could never let you fall And I want you to remember All the love that I've found Oh I say a prayer A prayer for you Oh for you I could never make a promise I'd only break it in the end Then you're looking for the answers You'd never trust in me again I could never watch you suffer I could never let you down And I hope you soon discover All the truth that I've now found Oh I say a prayer A prayer for you Oh for you Oh I say a prayer A prayer for you Oh for you
