once id like peace for myself
ive been caught up in the past
burdened with pain
lost with what wont last
standing in the rain
forgetting how to dance
i wonder when will be my very last chance
i know you want the answers
and i know i want to hear them too
this time i just dont know what to do
theres something i could never have known
that no matter what, losing them all would cut me to the bone
as strong as i am
as firmly as where i stand
these hands of stone
built to embrace
still tremble
with the thought of your face
here i lay and pray
to take this shame from my heart
the blame you put there from the start
how is a little girl to choose
to choose that her world is what she must lose
i have done what i could
and let go of what i couldnt
i dont know what to do all the time
but now and then
i remember what its like to put it all on the line
let it all go with only faith to carry you through
here i lay and pray
for you
to somehow get through
i know there is no god
ive seen bad for too long
to know life is what it is
its rain its a butterfly
its this kiss
you wont miss
religion when you leave
but this you must believe
your heart song you cannot deceive
i lay and pray to a god that ive never seen
ive had more luck proclaiming im queen
