Prayers

Born on a lonely planet, full of broken dreams
 Where no one understands me
 When I finally met an angel, I didn't know what to say
 She just held my hand
 We would lay awake at night, looking at the stars
 Thinking of the ones we've lost and wonder where they are
 When we lit another candle, she asked me who's to blame
 Then she put her arms around me and held me to the flame
 So why do we hurt each other?
 We don't need the words for one another's
 Prayers, they don't mean a thing at all
 Do they answer when you call?
 These prayers, when you don't mean what you say
 Would you die for me today?
 Now I just can't relate
 None of this makes sense in this reality
 God just leaves the room when I turn on my TV
 I see a little girl who's crying 'cause she lost her family
 All these strangers sending thoughts and prayers, she's buried underneath
 Why do we kill each other?
 We can't feel the pain in one another's
 Prayers, they don't mean a thing at all
 Do they answer when you call?
 These prayers, when you don't mean what you say
 Would you die for me today?
 Now I just can't relate
 ♪
 We're so far away from one another
 We keep building walls between each other's
 Prayers, they don't mean a thing at all
 Do they answer when you call?
 These prayers, when you don't mean what you say
 Would you die for me today?
 Now I just can't relate
 Prayers, they don't mean a thing at all
 Do they answer when you call?
 These prayers, when you don't mean what you say
 Would you die for me today?
