First Prayer Lyrics by Graeme Mark

0

I was not there on that day
When the first real man was heard to say
As he looked down at his hands
And stretched his neck from where he was standing
To the clouds

What am I that you gave these hands to me
Put these lands under my command?
What am I? Oh! I stretch to you my neck
You must've knew what was next when you breathed your breath into me

His question grows like a cancer
He wants to find the answer
Head spinning with the earth, wherein
You will find him—always searching, yeah!
And once more he looks to the sky
And he screams

What am I that you gave these hands to me
Put these lands under my command?
What am I? Oh! I stretch to you my neck
You must've knew about death when you breathed your breath into me

What am I? What am I?

There's only one thing I can do
And that's just keep searching for you
For if there's any of this is true
You must be searching for me too

What am I that you gave these hands to me
Put these lands under my command?
What am I? Oh! I stretch to you my neck
You must've knew about death when you breathed your breath into me

What am I? What am I? What am I?
