Prayer

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
