11:11 Lyrics

I wouldn't wish to win the lottery today

Don't care for cars or stars in LA

Won't catch me askin' to bask in heaven's rays, oh no

Maybe these things were once on my mind

But since then life has thrown me a line

I've got somebody who's counting on me, oh

So when the time arrives, to myself I say

"11:11, just hoping she's having a better day," oh

I'll do my best to help her feel alright

But then the rest of the things in her life

Can't help but go wrong and get in the way

I've never known another soul with her plight

Bad luck in spades, all her days feel like nights

I'm no man of God, but for her I will pray, oh

So when the times arrives

Clasp my hands, look to the skies

"11:11, just hoping she's having a better day," oh

The world can be so cruel to her, you wouldn't believe, oh

You would've thought she'd done something wrong

She ain't no angel, she just don't deserve what she receives

And so, I'm just hoping to help her along

So, ever since I've been wishing away

I suppose I have noticed a change, oh

Upon her shoulders she soldiers a little less weight

Though while she puts on a smile, it's a bluff

Things have changed, but they ain't changed enough

I guess all the stars and the cars have to wait, oh

So like a ritual, at that time of the day

11:11, won't you just take her blues away

Take it away, oh

Oh woah

The world can be so cruel to her, you wouldn't believe, woah

Would've thought she'd done something wrong

No, she ain't no angel, she just don't deserve what she receives

And so, I'm just hoping to help her along

I'll never wish to win the lottery today

Forget the cars and the stars in LA

Won't catch me askin' to bask in heaven's rays, oh no

Though I know on her own she'd get by

But that's just not enough peace of mind

She's got to be happy without a complaint, oh

So when the time arrives, I'll beg, I'll plead, I'll pray

"11:11, just hoping she's having a better day," oh

So when the time arrives, to myself I say

"11:11, just hoping she's having a better day," woah oh
