Once upon a time, not so long agoTommy used to work on the docksUnion''s been on strike, he''s down on his luck, it''s toughSo toughGina works the diner all dayWorking for her man, she brings home her pay for loveMmm, for loveShe says: ''We gotta hold on to what we''ve gotIt doesn''t make a difference if we make it or notWe''ve got each other and that''s a lot for loveWe''ll give it a shot''Oh, we''re half way thereOho, livin'' on a prayerTake my hand, we''ll make it, I swearOho, livin'' on a prayerTommy got his six string in hockNow he''s holding inWhat he used to make it talk so toughMmm, it''s toughGina dreams of running awayWhen she cries in the night, Tommy whispers:''Baby, it''s okaySomeday''We gotta hold on to what we''ve gotIt doesn''t make a difference if we make it or notWe''ve got each other and that''s a lot for loveWe''ll give it a shotOh, we''re half way thereOho, livin'' on a prayerTake my hand, we''ll make it, I swearOho, livin'' on a prayerLivin'' on a prayer!We''ve got to hold on, ready or notYou live for the fight when that''s all that you''ve gotOh, we''re half way thereOho, livin'' on a prayerTake my hand, we''ll make it, I swearOho, livin'' on a prayerOh, we''re half way thereOho, livin'' on a prayerTake my hand and we''ll make it, I swearOho, livin'' on a prayerOh, we''re half way thereOho, livin'' on a prayerTake my hand, we''ll make it, I swearOho, livin'' on a prayer
