Lyrics:

I've been waiting for the sun to shine
There's a shadow across my heart
Hard times and trouble, follow me wherever I go
As I look down my lonely road

Each night I pray the world will go my way
Hear these words, I cry
Lord knows I've tried
Lord knows I've tried

I tried to write you letters
To let my words betray all the fears inside my heart
If I had but one chance, to do it all again
The Heavens would shine on down
Surely show me my only, only way

Each night I pray the world will go my way
Hear these words, I try
Over and over, I keep on prayin' now
Lord knows I've tried
Lord knows I've tried
Yes, he does

Hey, alright

Oh, love is enough sweet Jesus
I've given all I can
You've taken everything I've got to give
It wasn't me who really shot that man
Now I know what you have in mind
A sweet, sweet dream is all I need
While I'm doing the rest of my time

Each night I pray the world will go my way
Hear these words, I cry
All I need's your guiding hand to see me through my lonely times
Lord knows I've tried
