Prayer Lyrics by Leith Ross

Motherwell

2020

[Verse 1]
Last night I wrote a prayer
To the water in my head
Read the book my mother read
See I don't believe in God
At least not one that's not
As human as me
And anyone, that ever was

[Chorus]
See I have to believe
There's some kind of deity
In lonely eyes
In looming trees
I can't count upon
Heaven or hell or law
But I'm scared and lonely
Amen

[Verse 2]
In history there's faith
When children die, people pray
And that's just human nature
It's my instinct to believe
There is something more than me
But I can't name what I can't see

[Chorus]
See I have to believe
There's some kind of deity
In broken bones
In skin that bleeds
I can't count upon
Heaven or hell or law
When I'm scared and lonely
Amen

[Outro]
Amen
Amen
Amen
Amen
Amen
Amen
Amen
Amen
