Think about a time when you didn’t want stand up
Think about a time when you wanted to go
Counted on a friend and he didn’t even show up
Stepped on the gas but it still went slow

Down on your knees, down on your knees, son
Face to the ground, lift up your please
Look to the Father for an answer
Just get down on your knees

Raining on a day when you wanted it sunny
Not enough change to get another pop
Want to get a drink but you haven’t got the money
Neighbor’s playing music and you want him to stop

Down on your knees, down on your knees, son
Face to the ground, lift up your please
Look to the Father for an answer
Just get down on your knees

Our Father which art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Forgive us our debts as we forgive those
Who sin against us Amen

Think about a time when you didn’t want stand up
Think about a time when you wanted to go
Counted on a friend and he didn’t even show up
Stepped on the gas but it still went slow

Down on your knees, down on your knees, son
Face to the ground, lift up your please
Look to the Father for an answer
Just get down on your knees
