By this time the church will be crowded
Soon my family will be down on their knees
Holding faith I found myself they're praying constantly
But here the music's loud and through the smoke filled crowd
Their prayers just can't reach me

Prayers can't reach me here cause this just ain't the place
For a man to find the faith to start anew
The little courage that I'd find grows numb with the wine
And it leaves me here with prayers just can't reach me
[ guitar ]
If I could only find the strenght I'd be with them
But such a miracle is more than I should ask
Cause I'm not the man today that they saw walk away
And in the end I'd be back here again with prayes just can't reach me

Their prayers can't reach me here...
