  Lyrics:
  
  There are times when I've wondered
  And times when I've cried
  When my prayers they were answered
  At times when I've lied
  But if you ask me a question
  Would I tell you the truth
  Now there's something to bet on
  You got nothing to lose
  
  When I've sat by the window
  And gazed at the rain
  With an ache in my heart
  But never feeling the pain
  And if you would tell me
  Just what my life means
  Walking a long road
  Never reaching the end
  
  God give me the answers to my life
  God give me the answers to my dreams
  God give me the answers to my prayers
  God give me the answers to my being
