Ken Stringfellow - The Lover's Hymn lyrics

rate me

It's true—I pray for you

But where it goes nobody knows

I pray for me too and we two

And anything that's gonna help it grow

Now I don't think for a minute that I know how these things work

But it don't matter it doesn't change

That I believe if God's a He or a She or a What

That it wants us to feel, feel what it feels

Every flower coming through your skin

Every breeze crossing your face

Every life being born in your arms

That's what they're calling love

That's what they're calling bliss

That's what they're calling joy and ecstasy

In perfect miniature—a world on a grain of sand

Called a woman, called a man

That's why they call it love that's why they call it bliss

That's why they call it joy and ecstasy

And that's why I pray I want that to come our way

I want to know it every day that's why I pray

Now I'm not a fool I know bad things can happen

They usually do

But what choice to I have? Give up and give in?

Do all the things that all the broken people do?

If I reach out with my thoughts even if I think there's no one there

They're gonna land some time they're gonna land somewhere

And if they free me from the darkness, that's all they gotta do

It's not a service like paying a taxi fare

Are you there? Can you hear me? Are you with me?

Let me know if you're still listening

‘Cause the best part's yet to come

‘Cause I'm not giving up—if you do I'll hold you up

We're gonna get there if we crawl or if we run

It might be this life or the next or whatever fate thinks best

But there's something here that just can't be undone

And that's why I pray…
