One Way To Pray

You can see with your wounded eye

Crossing low narrow streets at night

Like a car crash fighting for road

You'd rather sleep alone

I've got arms that can't hold enough

And my love song might ask too much

How your shadow grows bitter and long if I enter it wrong

I enter it wrong, I enter it wrong, I enter it wrong, I enter it wrong

I could heal but my hands are cold

You could lend me your broken bones

Letting love keep climbing the stairs to comb your long hair

You can sleep where no dreamer goes

Build a house more of stone than home

Pray for music with a reverent ear and the song reappears

(Song reappears)

Open sky receiver (song reappears)

Open sea receiver (song reappears)

Open land receiver (song reappears)

Red ember believer (song reappears)

Open eye receiver (song reappears)

Open mouth receiver (song reappears)

Open palm receiver (song reappears)

Burning heart believer

You can sing with your tired lungs

Know the wind and we'll take what comes

It's a tough road taking the name they'll carve on our grave

We're alive under thunder clouds

Taking hymns out of mothers' mouths

Swimming out to the incoming waves

That's one way to pray

(One way to pray)

Open eye receiver (one way to pray)

Open mouth receiver (one way to pray)

Open palm receiver (one way to pray)

Burning heart believer
