[Chorus: Ben Rector]
Someone must have been praying for me
'Cause I'm doing better than I ought to be
Sometimes I open my eyes and I can't believe it
Yeah, someone must have been
Someone must have been praying for me

[Verse 1: Mat Kearney]
West Coast kid in a Chevy S-10
Everything I own in the back of the bed
Wide-eyed dreaming about a Nashville skyline
Naive enough to think that it's my time
Singing about pipe dreams
Hanging on by heart strings
100 doors kеpt on closing
For the one door you blew opеn

[Chorus: Ben Rector]
Someone must have been praying for me
'Cause I'm doing better than I ought to be
Sometimes I open my eyes and I can't believe it
Yeah, someone must have been
Someone must have been praying for me, yeah

[Verse 2: Mat Kearney]
This has got to be as good as it gets 'cause it feels like fiction
Little footsteps running to kitchen
Long nights of running on the highway
Turned into a couple bikes in the driveway
Living that pipe dream
I'm doing better than I ought to be
Of all lives that I could have lived in
When I see this one I've been given, I think
[Chorus: Ben Rector]
Someone must have been praying for me
'Cause I'm doing better than I ought to be
Sometimes I open my eyes and I can't believe it
Yeah, someone must have been
Someone must have been praying for me

[Bridge: background, Ben Rector]
Somebody must have been
Somebody must have been
Somebody must have been praying for me
When I see you in the morning, I know
Somebody must have been
Somebody must have been
Somebody must have been praying for me
Somebody must have been praying for me

[Chorus: Ben Rector]
Someone must have been praying for me
'Cause when I hold my daughter, I hear heaven speak
Sometimes I open my eyes, I can't believe it
Yeah, someone must have been
Someone must have been praying for me

[Outro: Ben Rector]
I thank God they were praying for me
