Prayers

Born alone on a lonely planet

Full of broken dreams

Where no one understands me

When I finally met an angel

I didn’t know what to say

She just held my hand

AND we would lay awake at night

Looking at the stars

Thinking of the ones we’ve lost

And wonder where they are

When we lit another candle

She asked me who’s to blame

Then she put her arms around me and held me to the flame

So why do we hurt each other

We don’t hear the words from one another’s

Prayers

They don’t mean a thing at all

Do they answer when you call

These prayers

When you don’t mean what you say

Would you die for me today

Now I just can’t relate

None of this makes sense

In this reality

God just leaves the room when I turn on my TV

I see a little girl who’s crying because she lost her family

All these strangers sending thoughts and prayers

She’s buried underneath

Why do we kill each other

We can’t feel the pain in one another’s

Prayers

They don’t mean a thing at all

Do they answer when you call

These prayers

When you don’t mean what you say

Would you die for me today

Now I just can’t relate

We’re so far away from one another

We keep building walls between each other’s

Prayers

They don’t mean a thing at all

Do they answer when you call

These prayers

When you don’t mean what you say

Would you die for me today

Now I just can’t relate

Prayers

They don’t mean a thing at all

Do they answer when you call

These prayers

When you don’t mean what you say

Would you die for me today
