10. Prayer
Lord, I’m walking round and round in circles,
I pray in silence to an empty sky –
To an empty sky.
Son, just hear my prayer and forgive me.
In silent rage I sing my mournful plea –
Sing my mournful plea.
In the distance I hear thunder,
I’m stuck in my circles, wander on,
Wander on.
In the dark night of the soul
Light a candle for us all,
Or send an earthquake, let the sky shake, let the birds fall down,
Or let my sorrows drown and wash them away. Just wash them away!
I’m walking in circles, can find no consolation.
Shine on, you stars, illuminate my path –
Shine on, you stars.
Our world has been shaken
Our loved ones been taken away –
Taken away.
In the dark night save my soul
Hear my prayer and make me whole,
Or rip the curtain, drown my burden, let the walls come down, and
Take away my crown of thorns.
Lord, rip the curtain, let the fires raineth down on me, and
Take away my thorny crown.
Lord, drown my burden, hear my prayer, let the walls come down,
And take away my thorny crown.
Just, take away my thorny crown.
Lord, take away my thorny crown – soon.
