Say A Prayer

Say A Prayer

Looking out over steady water,
searching for another future.
I never knew it would come around again.
How’d it get so cold?
I’m too young to feel this old.

Watch the clouds rolling in,
a storm that never ends.
I swore tomorrow would be different.
Well, tomorrow’s here today,
everything’s exactly the same
and yet another day is spent.

Send a prayer for the lonely daughter,
send a prayer to the broken son.
You can scrub your sins away in the holy water
but when the night is over
and another day is done,
if you just keep doing what yesterday dictates
you’ll only have the same old pain,
the same love and hates.

Live today like tomorrow’s counting on you.
Breathe the air deep into your lungs.
Tomorrow’s here, you just never see it
until a new future has begun.

Say a prayer for the lonely child,
send a prayer to someone that’s passed.
When you’re standing lost out in those wilds of your life,
remember it never lasts.

Looking out over turning water,
the storm is gathering near.
I never knew the darkness until today.
How’d I miss the movement
and every single moment?
How’d I let it all slip away?

Lightning crashes,
and the breeze spreads the ashes
of what was once a life in my hands.
We took for granted that we had time
for what we wanted
and never took the time to understand.

Say a prayer for the ashes,
say a prayer for the flame,
and finally say a prayer goodbye.
As time slips away into that night,
prayers and tears are all that’s left inside.
