Prayer '94

Once upon a time

Not so long ago

Tommy used to work on the docks

The union went on strike

He's down on his luck, it's tough (It's tough)

So tough

Gina works the diner all day (Yes, she does)

Workin' for her man

She brings home her pay for love (For his love)

For love

She says we've gotta hold on to what we've got

It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not

We've got each other, that's a lot for love

We'll give it a shot

Whoa, we're half way there

(Whoa, livin' on a prayer)

Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear

(Whoa, livin' on a prayer)

Tommy threw his six string in hock

Now, he's holdin' in what he used to make talk, so tough

So tough

Gina dreams of runnin' away (Yes, she does)

But she cries every night

Tommy whispers, "Baby, it's okay" (It's okay)

Someday

We've gotta hold on to what we've got

It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not

We've got each other, that's a lot for love

We'll give it a shot

Whoa, we're half way there

(Oh, livin' on a prayer)

Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear

(Oh, livin' on a prayer)

We're livin' on a prayer

We've gotta hold on, ready or not

You live for the fight when it's all that you've got, whoa, whoa

And I sing, whoa, we're halfway there

(Oh, livin' on a prayer)

Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear

(Oh, livin' on a prayer, yeah)

Oh, we're half way there

(Oh, livin' on a prayer)

Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear

(Oh, livin' on a prayer, yeah)

Ooh, yeah

Ooh, yeah, yeah

(Oh, livin' on a prayer, yeah)

Ooh, yeah

Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah

(Whoa, livin' on a prayer, yeah)

Tommy used to work on the docks

The union went on strike

He's down on his luck, it's tough

(Hey, Tommy, it's tough)
