Prayer

Down on my knees on this star lit night…
Hands folded loosely praying into the night…
I Ask god for guidance and tell him there’s
no place I’d rather be than in your arms…

He tells me I will never be in your arms if I never tell you how I feel…
I thought he knew 20 times a day I practiced how to tell you…
I thought he knew I wanted to tell you…

He tells me he hears me practice a million
times a day, but when it comes time to talk
to you he hears nothing. He asks me “Why?”

I stand up… amazed…
I figure a trillion people a day ask god “Why?”...
And now I stand before him full of questions
and he asks me why…
I kneel back down before him and calmly explain with all the practice in the world when it comes right down to it the words just don’t seem to be there...

He tells me if I truly long to be holding you in my arms I will tell you the words I practice…
He tells me I have more to give than I give myself credit for…
I open my eyes and stand up and watch as he fades away into the start lit night…
