Leith Ross - Prayer Lyrics

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
See, I have to believe there's some kind of deity In lonely eyes and looming trees
I can't count upon heaven or hell or law
But I'm scared and lonely
Amen
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
See, I have to believe there's some kind of deity In broken bones and skin that bleeds
I can't count upon heaven or hell or law
When I'm scared and lonely
Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen
