When I Say Amen

I say it broken when the whole world is hurting I say it hoping, it's just what I need I say it believing when my heart is bleeding That my words break the ceiling when I say amen At the end of a prayer Running out on the edge On fire like a sunset I lift my hands To first love, shooting stars Burning candles in the dark Every step, every breath That's when I say amen I say it loud with I do's at a wedding Back of the bleachers at a cold homecoming game Sing it out lonely here on the highway When life won't go my way, I say it again At the end of a prayer Running out on the edge On fire like a sunset I lift my hands To first love, shooting stars Burning candles in the dark Oh, every step, every breath That's when I say amen Amen and amen and amen I say it quiet when faith is a whisper And I hear it echo like a heavenly choir At the end of a prayer Running out on the edge On fire like a sunset I lift my hands To first love, shooting stars Burning candles in the dark Every step, every breath That's when I say amen That's when I say amen Amen, amen
