When We Pray Alone
When I pray alone
I lay down these blood and bones
And I’m made light.
I am light.
When we pray alone
We are light.
When I pray alone
I am not alone
A sort of coming home
To the light.
I am light.
When we pray alone
We are light.
When I pray alone
All of me is gone
And I feel so right at home
In the light.
I am light.
When we pray as one
We lay down these blood and bones
And are made light.
We are light.
When we pray as one
We are light.
R.
I lay down these blood and bones
And I’m made light.
I am light.
When we pray alone
We are light.
When I pray alone
I am not alone
A sort of coming home
To the light.
I am light.
When we pray alone
We are light.
When I pray alone
All of me is gone
And I feel so right at home
In the light.
I am light.
When we pray as one
We lay down these blood and bones
And are made light.
We are light.
When we pray as one
We are light.
R.
