Erik Grönwall - Praying For A Miracle
______
‘Praying for a Miracle’ is about being pushed to a point where you feel like you have no control left - when everything comes down to one last chance and all you can do is hold on and hope. For me, it’s deeply personal. It takes me back to the moment I stepped on stage with Skid Row for the first time, just five months after my bone marrow transplant.

After years of fronting some of rock’s most iconic acts, Erik Grönwall returns with his first fully original solo album, Bad Bones, out May 22nd.
Known worldwide for his powerhouse vocals and commanding stage presence, Erik has previously fronted Skid Row and H.E.A.T, and toured across Europe and Japan providing lead vocals for guitar legend Michael Schenker. With Bad Bones, he now turns the focus inward.
Built entirely on original material, the album represents a return to songwriting at its core - honest, powerful, and deeply personal.
“I’ve had the honor of fronting some great bands, but now it’s time to tell my own story,” Erik says. “‘Praying for a Miracle’ is about being pushed to a point where you feel like you have no control left - when everything comes down to one last chance and all you can do is hold on and hope. For me, it’s deeply personal. It takes me back to the moment I stepped on stage with Skid Row for the first time, just five months after my bone marrow transplant.”
“Praying For A Miracle” is available on all major digital platforms May 1st, 2026. New album BAD BONES released May 22nd, 2026.

---------------------------
Started with a dream so physical
Believing everything was possible
What the hell is going on?
I’m so far away from home
How did I end up here no one knows
I’m reaching for the light through all the smoke
Now it seems impossible
All my fears have taken hold
There’s only one way out of this situation
I’m praying for a miracle
There’s only one shot left as I reach for the pinnacle
There’s only one way out of this sweet temptation
I’m praying for a miracle
Yeah I got one shot left and it’s all so critical
Been waiting my whole life for this to come
Now I’m flying too close to the sun
Every sound is beautiful
I’m stronger than I’ve been before
The fear is closing in but I won’t fold
Remembering the life I used to know
Suddenly I’m going numb
But I refuse to come undone
There’s only one way out of this situation
I’m praying for a miracle
There’s only one shot left as I reach for the pinnacle
There’s only one way out of this sweet temptation
I’m praying for a miracle
Yeah I got one shot left and it’s all so critical
Lights are flashing, smoke is rising
Crowd is on a high
As I take the stage, I feel like I could fly
