Pray
Embracing Faith and Unity in 'Pray' - A Musical Journey of Hope
Lyrics
7:30 out of Nashville
Leaving Nashville at 7:30
Airplane bottles on my tray
Small bottles of alcohol on the airplane tray
The heavens get to shakin'
Intense emotions or circumstances causing disturbance
It's a stranger's hand I'm takin'
Seeking support from a stranger
We pray, mm
Engaging in prayer
White coats and lots of coffee
Medical professionals and a tense atmosphere
Wearing worry on my face
Displaying worry visibly
The chapels out of waiting rooms
A chapel substituting waiting rooms for families awaiting news
For families waiting on the news
Families seeking information on a situation
We pray
Turning to prayer in difficult situations
I've been losing my religion
Experiencing a struggle with religious beliefs
I've been in and out of faith
Fluctuating faith and belief
What it is and what it isn't
Unclear understanding of religion
Well, it's not for me to say
Acknowledging limitations in defining faith
We stand in different churches
Diversity in religious affiliations
We call it different names
Differentiating beliefs but finding unity in prayer
But in the end, we pray
Despite differences, coming together in prayer
Where do we go when we're dreaming?
Questions about the destination of dreams
Who is it to when you give thanks?
Who is the recipient of gratitude during thanks?
When we're high and low in hope
Experiencing highs and lows in hope, either collectively or individually
Together or alone
Seeking support in both unity and solitude through prayer
We pray, pray
Continuing to pray
I've been losing my religion
Struggling with faith
I've been in and out of faith
Fluctuating in belief and disbelief
What it is and what it isn't
Uncertain about the essence of faith
Well, it's not for me to say
Recognizing the inability to define faith definitively
We stand in different churches
Diverse congregations or denominations
We call it different names
Varied names for religious practices
But in the end, we pray, oh yeah (in the end we pray)
Despite differences, resorting to prayer in the end
We pray
Repeated emphasis on praying
When we stand in the midnight hour, we pray
Praying during challenging moments, particularly at midnight
We pray
Continued emphasis on praying
When our arms are stretched out wide, we pray
Seeking solace through wide-reaching gestures during prayer
We pray, pray
Continued emphasis on praying
In the end we pray
Reiterating the act of praying as a conclusion
Seems like love went out of fashion, yeah
Observation about the diminishing presence of love
Is it easier to hate?
Wondering if it's easier for people to choose hate over love
Whatever book you read
Regardless of the text one follows
If you do or don't believe
Whether one believes or doesn’t believe
We pray, oh, we pray, yeah (mm)
Engaging in prayer despite differences
We pray
Continuing the act of praying
When I close my eyes, I call out your name (oh yeah, we pray)
Seeking connection through calling out a name in prayer
We pray
Continuing the act of praying
Our Father, who art in heaven (on our knees, we pray, yeah)
Reciting a portion of the Lord's Prayer
We pray
Continuing the act of praying
Hallow be thy name
Reciting another portion of the Lord's Prayer
'Cause in the end we pray, we pray
Emphasizing the persistence of prayer
In the end we pray, we pray (oh, pray)
Reiterating the persistence of prayer
