[Verse 1]
I've laughed and I've cried
I've cursed and I've lied
Stole from, gambled and cheated
Cut corners outside
I've tried and I've failed
Silenced all and even yelled
I've helped and I've hurt
But it's one thing I haven't learned

[Chorus]
Teach me how to pray
Teach me how to pray
Teach me how to pray
Oh, teach me how to pray

[Verse 2]
I've loved and I've lost
I've hoped and I've fought
Too worried to live a little
The bad seeds that I've got
I've crashed and I've burned
I've thirsted and I've yearned
I've loved and I've lost
But is it my fault?
[Refrain 1]
And I remember the day that we first met
Shame and guilt flood the wells of my eyes, oh no
You didn't condemn me, the angels wept
My day was coming
Finally, a real woman that will

[Chorus]
Teach me how to pray
Teach me how to pray
Teach me how to pray
Oh, teach me how to pray

[Refrain 2]
And I remember the day that we first met
Shame and guilt flood the wells of my eyes, oh no
You didn't condemn me, the angels wept
My day was coming
(Harmonizing) a real woman
As we say

[Bridge]
Me and you against the world tonight (Oh no)
Me and you against the world tonight (Oh no)
Me and you against the world tonight (Oh no, oh no, oh no, no, no)
Me and you against the world tonight
Me and you against the world tonight (Oh, no)
Me and you against the world tonight (Oh, no)
Me and you against the world tonight
Me and you against the world tonight
[Outro]
Teach me how to pray
