[Chorus]
When you're down
Don't be afraid to pray out loud
Just close your eyes and let it out
Take all your fears and doubts
He's listening right now
Don't be afraid to pray out loud
Pray out loud

[Verse 1]
Everybody's got their problems
Everybody's got their struggles
We all need a helping hand sometimes
Sometimes

[Pre-Chorus]
And I think back to when I was a little girl
My daddy said "Remember, Jess, as you walk through this world"

[Chorus]
When you're down
Don't be afraid to pray out loud
Just close your eyes and let it out
Take all your fears and doubts
He's listening right now
Don't be afraid to pray out loud

[Bridge]
You don't have to face it on your own
We don't have to be alone
Just open up your arms and look up at the sky
And pray out loud

[Chorus]
When you're down
Don't be afraid to pray out loud
Just close your eyes and let it out
All your fears and doubts
He's listening right now
Oh, when you're down
Don't be afraid to pray out loud
Just close your eyes and let it out
All your fears and doubts
He's listening right now
Don't be afraid to pray out loud
Pray out loud
Pray out loud
Don't be afraid to pray out loud
