Lyrics

There's a room beneath forever
Where unanswered letters go
Stacked in boxes to the rafters
Filed by names we'll never know
Every "please" and every "save me"
Every bargain made in fear
Sent to somewhere up above us
Somehow ending up down here
Welcome to the dead letter office
Where we keep what Heaven couldn't hear
Every "hallelujah" returned to sender
Every desperate word that disappeared
No forwarding address, no reason why
Just mountains of hope under fluorescent lights
There's a box marked "Please come home"
There's a drawer marked "Let her live"
Children asking for their mothers
Dying people bargaining to live
I stamp them Grimber Letterball
Write the month, the day, the year
Tie them up with faded red string
And make another box disappear
Then beneath twenty years of dust
I found a letter written by me
"Dear God, I don't need a miracle
Just give me something to believe"
No stamp marked "Denied"
No answer from the other side
My prayer, it never left the building
It had been here the whole damn time
So I cut the strings and broke the seals
Threw every window open wide
And a million little prayers took flight
Like birds into the night
Every "save me," every "hear me"
Every "please don't let this end"
I don't know if God received them
I just never filed them again
Now there's an empty desk, a broken stamp
Red strings scattered everywhere
And an open door beneath forever
Where we used to keep the prayers
