I ain't been one
For praying none
But I'm down on my knees and trying
I ain't never been, a church going man
But here I am at the altar, crying

And it's a long way down
I'm just trying to climb out
The road behind's been nothing but sin and crime
And I can't say that I like what I've been doing
Hope the road ahead got something
Better than all this misery and pain I've been living

'Cause it's a long way down
And I'm just trying to climb out
Angel oh angel, place that halo
Place that halo on my head
No I don't deserve it
But I swear I'll earn it if you
Just light the darkness I so dread

Lord ain't never seen, me down on my knees
But lately it's the only place I been
He ain't never known me to bow at his throne
But I still hope he can forgive
