I'M Living On a Prayer

It’s hard out here,
I swear.
I don’t know where,
I’m headed,
My life is full of chances,
And people saying and,
Acting out to me, 
I dare.
Often at times,
 I’m scared.

I get constant messages
That you are God’s child
Don’t let them people drive you wild
I get constant statements
That I’m praying for you.
It’s hard out here,
I swear.
I don’t know where,
I’m headed,
My life is full of chances,
And people saying and,
Acting out to me, 
I dare.
Often at times,
 I’m scared.
My life is full of chances,
And people saying and,
Acting out to me, 
I dare.

I’m making it anyway
I’m glad to say
Even though I fear
Sometimes and cry a lot
I’m giving it all I got
I’m living,
Sometimes scared, 
I’m living on a prayer.

My dear Nicole, I know you've heard this before, and I don't mean it to sound flippant.. but these words are true... take each day as it comes...don't despair because He's "got your back", as they say. You may not be rich with money, but look at your life and count those riches, when you get scared. Hold on to your wonderful faith! Peace, love, Audrey
