Evening Prayers Songtext
von Molly Ranson & Marin Mazzie

Jesus watches from the wall
But his face is cold as stone
If he loves me
Why do I feel so all alone

Baby savior meek and mild
What do you do with my prayers
If you hear me
Why do I feel that no one cares

God almighty she′s only a child
But the woman's waking inside her
She will be lost if her passion runs wild
So i can′t let her stumble and fall
As you helped your child divine
Give me the strength to help mine

Mama sees inside my soul
But her face is cold as stone
If she loves me
Why do I feel so all alone
So alone


There's a movement in my head
Saints and angels what can it be
It's growing
It′s stirring
It′s churning
Shifting
Bending

What's happening to me?
You can go to bed now
Yes, Mama
It′s getting late, say your prayers
Now, I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I die, before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul to take

I never wanted to cause you such pain
But there are times when my life was so frightening
Maybe I do things that I can't explain
But my feelings for you never change
You are still my precious one
Can you forgive what I′ve done?

Mama you don't need forgiveness from me (I was wrong)
Oh I know that you do what you have to (It hurts me)
I want to dry all your tears for you see
That i′m sorry for letting you down (One day you'll bless me, by taking away)
God bless me now


Look inside your heart(Can you look inside your heart)
That's where forgiveness must start

Show me the mercy that you′ve always shown (After all)

We have no one except each other

I was so afraid that you′d leave me alone
And I'd die if you pushed me away
Promise you′ll be here
You're the reason I′m alive
You're my survival
In my life there′s only one thing true
I love (will always love)
You
