Lord, I hope this day is good 
I'm feelin' empty and misunderstood 
I should be thankful, Lord, I know I should 
But Lord I hope this day is good 

Lord, have you forgotten me
I've been prayin' to you faithfully 
I'm not sayin' I'm a righteous man 
But Lord I hope you understand 

I don't need fortune and I don't need fame 
Send down the thunder, Lord, send down the rain 
But when you're plannin' just how it will be 
Plan a good day for me 

Lord, I hope this day is good 
I'm feelin' empty and misunderstood 
I should be thankful, Lord, I know I should 
But Lord I hope this day is good 

You've been the King since the dawn of time 
All that I'm askin' is a little less crime 
It might be hard for the devil to do 
But it would be easy for you 

Lord, I hope this day is good 
I'm feelin' empty and misunderstood 
I should be thankful, Lord, I know I should 
But Lord I hope this day is good
