Livin' on a Prayer
Surviving Tough Times: A Tale of Love and Resilience
Lyrics
Once upon a time not so long ago
Introduction to a past time not too distant
Tommy used to work on the docks, union's been on strike
Tommy used to work at the docks, but the union is on strike
He's down on his luck, it's tough, so tough
Tommy is facing tough times and is down on luck
Gina works the diner all day working for her man
Gina works at a diner, supporting her man
She brings home her pay, for love, for love
Gina earns for love and brings home her pay
She says, we've got to hold on to what we've got
Gina emphasizes the need to hold on to what they have
It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not
It doesn't matter if they succeed or fail, they have each other
We've got each other and that's a lot for love
Having each other is significant for love
We'll give it a shot
They are willing to give their situation a try
Woah, we're half way there
They are halfway through their journey
Woah, livin' on a prayer
Living on a prayer, relying on hope
Take my hand, we'll make it I swear
Taking each other's hand, making a commitment to succeed
Woah, livin' on a prayer
Reiterating the challenging nature of living on a prayer
Tommy's got his six-string in hock
Tommy had to pawn his six-string guitar
Now he's holding in what he used to make it talk
He now keeps his feelings to himself, reflecting the toughness of the situation
So tough, it's tough
Emphasizing the continuing difficulty
Gina dreams of running away
Gina dreams of escaping her current life
When she cries in the night, Tommy whispers
Tommy comforts her in tough times, assuring a better future
Baby, it's okay, someday
Hope for a brighter future
We've got to hold on to what we've got
Reiterating the importance of holding on to what they have
It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not
Success or failure doesn't matter; having each other is crucial
We've got each other and that's a lot for love
They have each other, a significant source of love
We'll give it a shot
They are ready to give their situation a chance
Woah, we're half way there
Halfway through their challenging journey
Woah, livin' on a prayer
Reiteration of the challenging nature of living on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it I swear
Committing to overcoming challenges together
Woah, livin' on a prayer
Reiterating the tough reality of living on a prayer
Livin' on a prayer
Living on a prayer
Oh, we've got to hold on, ready or not
Emphasizing the need to hold on, whether prepared or not
You live for the fight when it's all that you've got
Fighting for what you have when it's all you've got
Woah, we're half way there
Reiteration of being halfway through their challenging journey
Woah, livin' on a prayer
Living on a prayer, facing challenges
Take my hand, we'll make it I swear
Recommitting to overcoming challenges together
Woah, livin' on a prayer
Reiterating the tough reality of living on a prayer
Woah, we're half way there
Reiteration of being halfway through their challenging journey
Woah, livin' on a prayer
Living on a prayer, facing challenges
Take my hand, we'll make it I swear
Recommitting to overcoming challenges together
Woah, livin' on a prayer
Reiterating the tough reality of living on a prayer
Woah, we're half way there
Reiteration of being halfway through their challenging journey
Woah, livin' on a prayer
Living on a prayer, facing challenges
Take my hand, we'll make it I swear
Recommitting to overcoming challenges together
Woah, livin' on a prayer
Reiterating the tough reality of living on a prayer
