Sometimes I Wish I Could Pray

(Album: Hill Of Beans - 2019)

When I was a child I thought as a child
We sang hymns at the close of the day
But now I'm a man I put away childish things
But there's sometimes I wish I could pray

Just to thank someone when the danger is passed
When returned to your family and friends
Or for comfort when you are tired and you're scared
And have problems that seem will not end

Sometimes I wish I could pray
Sometimes I wish I could pray
Most of the time I'm doing okay
But there's sometimes I wish I could pray

To believe everything has been planned in advance
By one who looks down and is pleased
Or to lift up your eyes and to thank someone
When you're humbled and brought right down to your knees

Sometimes I wish I could pray
Sometimes I wish I could pray
Most of the time I'm doing okay
But there's sometimes I wish I could pray

Just to thank someone for the stars and the sun
For the cry of a baby at birth
Or to believe there's a home way up high in the sky
When our journey is done on this earth

Sometimes I wish I could pray
Sometimes I wish I could pray
Most of the time I'm doing okay
But there's sometimes I wish I could pray
