You Might as Well Pray Lyrics

[Verse 1: Jules Shear]
It's no use backtracking and wondering where we went
Like everything we say is just another hint
You watch your roads collide when your path won't bend
When no direction screams out calling you
And no barrier's been built that can get in your way
You might as well pray

[Verse 2: Amy Rigby]
I've seen the rubble left behind the best laid plans
As its been pointed out by your impulsive hand
We can't choose where we're born
We can choose where we land
So jump first and limp later, my friend
Think of somewhere as perishable as today
You might as well pray
[Bridge: Both]
You bight as well pray for a miracle
There's so many out here to try
It's a miracle we fail to see it each other
Standing eye to eye

[Verse 3: Both]
It's no use backtracking and wondering where we went
It's like watching where the dog ran through the wet cement
There's no way in this world we'll ever be content
So try to make it like the dream you had
The peaceable kingdom where no one's betrayed
You might as well pray
You might as well pray
You might as well pray
