A Prayer for the Unborn
A Plea in Silence: Unanswered Prayers and Lost Faith
Lyrics
So, I prayed...
Expressing the act of prayer.
But you weren't listening.
Perceived lack of response or attention from the divine.
Making miracles?
Raising doubts about the occurrence of miracles.
So, I begged...
Requesting desperately.
But you were far away.
Feeling a distant presence of the divine.
Saving souls perhaps?
Questioning the purpose of divine actions.
So, I screamed...
Expressing frustration and intense emotion.
But she was very small
Highlighting the vulnerability of a small, helpless individual.
And you have worlds to mend.
Divine preoccupation with larger issues despite personal pleas.
So, she died...
Acknowledging a tragic event - the death of someone significant.
And you were glorious.
Praising the divine despite a perceived absence during the tragedy.
But you were somewhere else.
Emphasizing the divine's detachment during moments of sorrow.
If you are my shepherd
Questioning the divine's role as a shepherd.
Then I'm lost and no one can find me.
Feeling lost and abandoned by the divine.
If you are my saviour
Doubting the effectiveness of the divine as a savior.
Then I'm dead and no one can help me.
Expressing a sense of hopelessness and lack of help.
If you are my glory
Questioning the divine's role as a source of glory and goodness.
Then I'm sick and no one can cure me.
Feeling sick and abandoned by the divine's supposed healing power.
If you light my darkness
Expressing spiritual blindness despite seeking divine guidance.
Then I'm blind and no one can see me.
Feeling unnoticed and unseen despite seeking divine light.
If you are my father
Questioning the divine's role as a father, highlighting abandonment.
Then love lies abandoned and bleeding.
Expressing the abandonment of love in the face of divine absence.
If you are my comfort
Doubting the comfort provided by the divine in the face of nightmares.
Then nightmares are real and deceiving.
Describing the reality of nightmares and deception despite seeking comfort.
If you are my answer
Questioning the adequacy of the divine as an answer to life's challenges.
Then I must have asked the wrong question.
Expressing doubt about the appropriateness of the questions asked to the divine.
I'd spit on your heaven
Rejecting the concept of a divine heaven.
If I could find one to believe in.
Expressing disbelief and difficulty in finding a belief to trust in.
