  • Wake up, say a little prayer
    Out of bed to the bathroom where
    I take a look at myself and I stop and stare
    And I wonder who is this standing here

    And I try to find the will to carry on
    Wonder how much longer I can carry on
    'Cause these days they take so long, yes they do

    Hey, how are you true?
    The light will guide you home, yes it will
    Hey, how are you true?
    Well there's one thing that you should know
    Yes you should
    You need love, you need love, you need love
    You need love

    All your days spend countin' numbers
    'Til one day you'll find, (day you'll find)
    That life has passed you by
    And in the quiet still of silence try to hide your eyes
    Oh no so don't cry, oh no

    Hey, how are you true?
    The light will guide you home, yes it will
    Oh the years, they turn so fast
    Soon the present will be past and you'll look back and laugh
    Yes, you will

    Well I can still remember, yes I was a young man too
    Alone, but not forgotten and the candle shining through
    Still all these words I've spoken don't mean anything at all
    Without love, without love, without love
    Without love

    Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, oh yeah
    Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, oh yeah

    I remember clearly we were both there on the airplane
    Told me all your secrets, oh I never saw it coming
    I thought that you were joking
    You were actually quite serious Writer/s: BRAD SHULTZ, DANIEL TICHENOR, JARED CHAMPION, MATT SHULTZ
