Prayer

(album: Motherwell - 2020)

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
In 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
In 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
