I can’t stop living in the past
That old pain is just too vast a place to crawl from
And the memories live on
And then that girl walks in my life
and makes me think of all the times I’ve held love
and then love just slipped away
chorus:
Lord, give me the strength to try again
Face the fear and doubt within
I don’t know if my heart can withstand it
Lord, give me the strength to try again
Open my heart
Let love in
Won’t you please hear my lover’s prayer
It’s funny ’bout the human heart
It longs for love and then starts the spark
that draws you closer
Closer heart to heart
But the mind is another kind of thing
It brings you down and makes you think of scars and lost dreams
And of throwing love away
chorus:
Lord, give me the strength to try again
Face the fear and doubt within
I don’t know if my heart can withstand it
Lord, give me the strength to try again
Open my heart
Let love in
Won’t you please hear my lover’s prayer
