Have you ever lost hope on a prayer

'cause the man upstairs didn't call, didn't make a sound

So you felt some doubt, but you still knelt down

Well, I have.

Have you ever been so burned out

You were ashes on the ground, but you didn't have the luxury

To quit running so fast, so you hit the gas

Well, I have.

Is it just me or does anyone out there anywhere find it hard to believe?

Oh, god, I'm trying to carry on, but I fear that I can't

It feels like sometimes I'm waiting on some twisted damn plan

I've had enough of this white-knuckle grip

Lord, I'm just a man

Holding on with everything I have.

Have you ever come down from a mountain high

And tried to climb back up, but you downhill dive

So you turn to the bottle just to get you by

Well, I have.

Oh, and have you ever been crippled by an anxious fear

And took a long, hard look in the bathroom mirror

And thought, "who'd even miss me if I disappeared?"

Well, I have.

Oh, god, I'm trying to carry on, but I fear that I can't

It feels like sometimes I'm waiting on some twisted damn plan

I've had enough of this white-knuckle grip

Lord, I'm just a man

Holding on with everything I have

I have, I have, I have.

Is it just me or does anyone out there anywhere find it hard to believe?

Oh, god, I'm trying to carry on, but I fear that I can't

It feels like sometimes I'm waiting on some twisted damn plan

I've had enough of this white-knuckle grip

Lord, I'm just a man

Holding on with everything I have

With everything I have.
