Prayers

Born alone on a lonely planet
Full of broken dreams
Where no one understands me
When I finally met an angel
I didn’t know what to say
She just held my hand
AND we would lay awake at night
Looking at the stars
Thinking of the ones we’ve lost
And wonder where they are
When we lit another candle
She asked me who’s to blame
Then she put her arms around me and held me to the flame

So why do we hurt each other
We don’t hear the words from one another’s

Prayers
They don’t mean a thing at all
Do they answer when you call
These prayers
When you don’t mean what you say
Would you die for me today
Now I just can’t relate

None of this makes sense
In this reality
God just leaves the room when I turn on my TV
I see a little girl who’s crying because she lost her family
All these strangers sending thoughts and prayers
She’s buried underneath

Why do we kill each other
We can’t feel the pain in one another’s

Prayers
They don’t mean a thing at all
Do they answer when you call
These prayers
When you don’t mean what you say
Would you die for me today
Now I just can’t relate

We’re so far away from one another
We keep building walls between each other’s

Prayers
They don’t mean a thing at all
Do they answer when you call
These prayers
When you don’t mean what you say
Would you die for me today
Now I just can’t relate

Prayers
They don’t mean a thing at all
Do they answer when you call
These prayers
When you don’t mean what you say
Would you die for me today
