Name: Prayer
Duration: P00H05M25S
Description: I vividly remember when and where I wrote this song - at Camp Seafarer on the Carolina coast, where I worked for a few summers, standing out on the patio one evening, feeling the breeze and feeling at peace. I'm not entirely sure what this song is about, and I don't know why I named it Prayer. But I'm cool with that.

I vividly remember when and where I wrote this song - at Camp Seafarer on the Carolina coast, where I worked for a few summers, standing out on the patio one evening, feeling the breeze and feeling at peace. I'm not entirely sure what this song is about, and I don't know why I named it Prayer. But I'm cool with that.

lyrics

if you needed me to take away your hurt and pain
if you called on me to steady winds in times of change
i'd run to you and hold you by the hand
and if you still needed more
i'd stay for awhile and i'd sing you this prayer
and if i needed you to release the demons inside
to help me keep my past
in the days that have already gone by
you'd come to me lead me to a quiet place
smile a smile of love
hold me in your arms and sing me this prayer
tonight i face the moon
the stars and sea the earth and sky
tonight i face the world
and i swear i will not pass it by
and so here i stand
and i absorb creation all around
and though i stand alone i am here with you
and we sing this prayer
give me strength peace of mind
help me find that love will come around
love will always come around
