Praying For the Life I Had In Mind

I wish I could see
What's next for me

My life hasn't turned out great
All I can do is wait

To see how my life will be
I'm always down upon my knees

Praying up to God
Waiting for his approving nod

Then my life will turn a page
I'll be released from this cage

If I just hold on a while
I'll finally find a way to smile

My eyes will open wide
I'll no longer need to hide

I'm sick of being sad
Of always being mad

I want to let it go
If only I could know

That one day I will find
The life I had in mind
