Prayin’ Songtext
von Christopher Cross

Frozen in time while the calendar pages
Are fallin′ like leaves from a tree
Gettin' the sense I′m connected to somethin'
And not sure what's happenin′ to me

A catholic school kid in thrall to the altar
The rituals was moved me somehow
I left it behind when I learned how to think
So, it′s funny that suddenly now

I'm prayin′
Never thought I would be prayin'
Deep in my soul
Prayin′
Tryin' to surrender control

Most of the time I′m not asking for anythin'
Just like to sit for a spell
And open myself to the chance for some guidance
'Cause thoughts in my head keep me in my own hell


Prayin′
Never thought I would be prayin′
Pompous head bowed
Sayin'
Beautiful words right out loud

Thank you
Thank you
Please be there
That′s my favorite prayer

I think that the sages all down through the ages
Were right when they said, "God is love"
Love is alive and I know it's inside me
And not some old man from above
So in the end, let me hear you, keep me near you
Grant me the wisdom to be at my best
Let me forgive so the world may be blessed

Prayin′
Never thought I would be prayin'
Safe and alone
Stayin′
Peaceful and still as a stone


Thank you for prayin'
May I forever be prayin'
Now its begun
Prayin′
Knowin′ that we are all one
Amen
Amen
Amen
Amen
