Leith Ross — Prayer

[Verse 1] Last night I wrote a prayer To the water in my head Read the book my mother read See I don't believe in God At least not one that's not As human as me And anyone, that ever was [Chorus] See I have to believe There's some kind of deity In lonely eyes In looming trees I can't count upon Heaven or hell or law But I'm scared and lonely Amen [Verse 2] In history there's faith When children die, people pray And that's just human nature It's my instinct to believe There is something more than me But I can't name what I can't see [Chorus] See I have to believe There's some kind of deity In broken bones In skin that bleeds I can't count upon Heaven or hell or law When I'm scared and lonely Amen [Outro] Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen
