Generate meaning
1
I wanted to pray
2
I wanted to let you go on your way
3
I wanted to know why they laid there
4
Dying in the streets next to the restaurant
5
Where people were eating and yes
6
I wanted to pray
7
How do you pray in a world like this
8
You know, I see the people on tv
9
And they close their eyes and they bow their heads
10
And they say "Let us pray"
11
And it feels so cold and meaningless
12
And I wanted to pray
13
And I said
14
Tell me father
15
Tell me mother
16
Heavenly mother
17
And they said
18
When you pray
19
Pray alone by yourself
20
In the secret room of your heart
21
Don't go out into the church filled with people and pray
22
God hears every secret that you say
23
See all those people praying on tv and the churches
24
They like to make a big parade out of what they're doing
25
They think God hears them louder if they say it
26
Over and over and over and over and over again
27
But I say, God, but I say this
28
You are the prayer
29
Your eyes are the prayer
30
Your hand on your cheek
31
You are the prayer
32
Those words you want to speak
33
They are the prayer
34
That dance you make
35
When you're by yourself
36
Just before your mother calls you on the phone
37
You are the prayer
38
I tell you what
39
You gotta take it back from them
40
Because the prayers belong to you
41
All you gotta do is say hey hey
42
I'm down here too, I'm down here too
43
I'm down here too
44
And I hear you in the trees
45
And I hear you
46
And I'm near you
47
I wonder why there's so much suffering
48
I want to say thank you, thank you
49
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you
50
I wanted to say thank you, thank you
51
I wanted to say
52
I wanted to say
53
You are where I like it best
54
You are where I like it best
55
You are where I like it best
56
That's the Lords' prayer
57
"You are where I want to be"
58
So, amen, just amen
59
Amen, all by myself, amen, amen
60
I'm so lonely, just amen
61
And I'm rising, rising, just amen
62
You can look through my eyes
63
Hear through my hear
64
Look through my eyes
