歌詞
I wanted to pray
I wanted to let you go on your way
I wanted to know why they laid there
Dying in the streets next to the restaurant where
People were eating and
I wanted to pray
How do you pray in a world like this?
I see the people on TV and they close their eyes
And they bow their heads and they say
"Let us pray"
It feels so cold and meaningless
And I wanted to pray and I said
Tell me father, tell me mother
Heavenly mother, yeah
And they said
When you pray, pray alone by yourself
In the secret room of your heart
Don't go out into the church filled with people and pray
God hears every secret that you say
See all those people praying on TV and in the churches
They like to make a big parade out of what they're doing
They think God hears them louder if they say it over and over
And over and over and over again
But I said
God
I say this
You are the prayer
Your eyes are the prayer
Your hand on your cheek
You are the prayer
Those words you wanna speak
They are the prayer
That dance you make when you're by yourself
Just before your mother calls you on the phone
You are the prayer
I tell you what, you gotta take it back from them
Because the prayers belong to you
All you gotta do is say
Hey hey
I'm down here too
I'm down here too
I'm down here too
I hear you, Jesus
I hear you
I'm near you
Wonder why there's so much suffering
I wanted to say thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you
I wanted to say thank you, thank you
I wanted to say
I wanted to say
You are where I like it best
You are where I like it best
You are where I like it best
That's the Lord's prayer
You are where I wanna be
So amen
Just amen
Amen all by myself, amen
Amen
I'm so lonely, just amen
And I'm rising, rising, just amen
You can look through my eyes
Hear through my heart
Look through my eyes
