Lyrics
Started out making all kinds of noise,
Running with the king's own boys.
Thought we knew what life was about,
Never had a single doubt.
Laughing loud at every plea,
Truth meant nothing much to me.
Running wild from day to day...
Someone was praying.
Someone was praying!
Day and night!
Holding on
When we'd lost the light!
Someone was praying!
Faith stayed strong!
Long before
We came along!
Turned our backs and walked away,
Thought we'd never change our ways.
Every warning came and went,
Never stopped to wonder what it meant.
Mothers hoping,
Fathers prayed.
Never knew
The price they paid.
Heaven heard
Each whispered saying...
Someone was praying.
Then one day the sky broke wide,
Thunder rolling from on high.
Hit the ground without a sound,
Couldn't even look around.
Heard a voice I can't explain,
Cutting deeper than the rain.
Everything was rearranging...
Someone was praying.
Someone was praying!
Day and night!
Holding on
When we'd lost the light!
Someone was praying!
Faith stayed strong!
Long before
We came along!
Three long days without a word,
Thinking about the things I'd heard.
Every heartbeat felt brand new,
Every promise finally true.
Opened up my weary eyes,
Saw the world through different skies.
Found my friends beside me saying...
Someone was praying.
Now we walk a different road,
Helping others bear the load.
Sharing hope where fear had been,
Watching broken lives begin.
If you're wondering where to start,
Lift someone's name with all your heart.
Heaven's always listening...
Someone is praying.
Now we're praying!
Day and night!
Holding on
To every light!
Now we're praying!
Strong and true!
Somebody prayed...
Now we're praying too!
Now we're praying!
For the lost!
Love is worth
Whatever it costs!
Someone was praying...
That's what love can do.
