A Prayer Soon Rising High
Goodbye, may be
Better than forever overflowing eyes
Goodbye, say we
Tried it for a short-lived while
To give context to our doubt
To take what’s curved and straighten it out
To search our souls until we’ve found
If love would sprout if we found the light
We're trying so hard to find
Quickly, a single speck of dust illuminates
From the first ray piercing the morning sky
And, suddenly, the world begins to shine
Even before the burning ball
Crosses the horizon line
Pathways, my feet
Were born to blister overturning time
Pathways, my knees
Bore the burden of prayer-filled sighs
In the presence of dimming shadows
In the rising of dark, smoking billows
In the depths of a minds gallows
I found desperation to be a beautiful sign
Of a prayer soon rising high
Tears and ash
Such a terribly, graceful mask
Tears and ash
Turning pride into a humble request
Of sweet forgiveness
Quickly, a single speck of dust illuminates
From the first ray piercing the morning sky
And, suddenly, the world begins to shine
Even before the burning ball
Crosses the horizon line
