Frozen in time while the calendar pages
|
Are falling like leaves from a tree
|
Getting the sense I'm connected to something
|
And not sure what's happening to me
|
A catholic school kid in thrall to the altar
|
The rituals moved me somehow
|
I left it behind when I learned how to think
|
So it's funny that suddenly now - I'm
|
Prayin'
|
Never thought I would be prayin'
|
Deep in my soul
|
Prayin'
|
Tryin' to surrender control
|
Most of the time I'm not asking for anything
|
Just like to sit for a spell
|
And open myself to the chance for some guidance
|
'cause thoughts in my head keep me in my own hell
|
Prayin'
|
Never thought I would be prayin'
|
Pompous head bowed
|
Sayin'
|
Beautiful words right out loud
|
Thank you
|
Thank you
|
Please be there
|
That's my favorite prayer
|
I think that the sages all down through the ages
|
Were right when they said god is love
|
Love is alive and I know it's inside me
|
And not some old man from above
|
So in the end let me hear you
|
Keep me near you
|
Grant me the wisdom to be at my best
|
Let me forgive so the world may be blessed
|
Prayin'
|
Never thought I would be prayin'
|
Safe and alone
|
Stayin'
|
Peaceful and still as a stone
|
Thank you for prayin'
|
May I forever be prayin'
|
Now it's begun
|
Prayin'
|
Knowing that we are all one
|
Amen
|
