Prayer 94
Once upon a timeÂÂ
Not so long agoÂÂ
Tommy used to work on the docksÂÂ
Union's been on strikeÂÂ
He's down on his luck...it's tough, so toughÂÂ
Gina works the diner all dayÂÂ
Working for her man, she brings home her payÂÂ
For love - for loveÂÂ
She says: We've got to hold on to what we've gotÂÂ
'Cause it doesn't make a differenceÂÂ
If we make it or notÂÂ
We've got each other and that's a lotÂÂ
For love - we'll give it a shotÂÂ
We're half way thereÂÂ
Livin' on a prayerÂÂ
Take my hand and we'll make it - I swearÂÂ
Livin' on a prayerÂÂ
Tommy got his six string in hockÂÂ
Now he's holding in what he usedÂÂ
To make it talk - so tough, it's toughÂÂ
Gina dreams of running awayÂÂ
When she cries in the nightÂÂ
Tommy whispers: Baby it's okay, somedayÂÂ
We've got to hold on to what we've gotÂÂ
'Cause it doesn't make a differenceÂÂ
If we make it or notÂÂ
We've got each other and that's a lotÂÂ
For love - we'll give it a shotÂÂ
We're half way thereÂÂ
Livin' on a prayerÂÂ
Take my hand and we'll make it - I swearÂÂ
Livin' on a prayerÂÂ
We've got to hold on ready or notÂÂ
You live for the fight when it's all that you've gotÂÂ
We're half way thereÂÂ
Livin' on a prayerÂÂ
Take my hand and we'll make it - I swearÂÂ
Livin' on a prayer
