Pray

My eyes are made of winter

And these hands I hold are skin and bone (oh, whoa)

Our bedsheets thrown, the meals gone cold

I know you, I know you of old (oh, whoa)

Pray for me, oh, children, pray

For what I've, I've, I've, I've done

I'll haunt the very wrinkles of your skin

Pray for me, I'll run until I begin to understand

What holy men really mean

When they speak of sin

Oh, whoa, oh, whoa

Pray for me 'cause I won't pray for you

Oh, whoa, oh, whoa

Pray for me 'cause I won't pray for

I won't, I won't pray for you (oh)

If you knew all that I'd done

The words that shone are all but gone (oh, whoa)

The hearts I've broken, the minds I've woken

Sweet nothings are screamed, not spoken (oh, whoa)

God made all man in his image (God made all man)

Honey, I'm, I'm no man

I'm what's left when children go to war

Run from you, I'll run until (run form you)

I begin to understand (I understand)

What holy men really mean

When they speak of sand and sons and seams

And symphonies and sweat and sex and sin

Oh, whoa, oh, whoa

Pray for me 'cause I won't pray for you

Oh, whoa, oh, whoa

Pray for me 'cause I won't pray for -

I won't, I won't pray for -

Oh, whoa (oh-oh-oh), oh, whoa (oh-oh-oh)

Pray for me 'cause I won't pray for you

Oh, whoa (oh-oh-oh), oh, whoa (oh-oh-oh)

Pray for me 'cause I won't pray for -

I won't, I won't pray for -

I won't, I won't pray for -

I won't, I won't pray for -

I won't, I won't pray for you

Pray for me, oh children, pray for what I've, I've, I've undone

I cannot sleep when all you do is cry

Pray for me, I'll run until I begin to understand

What holy men really mean

When they speak of all that's been and all that won't

And all you do and don't

Why you cannot sleep for sighing

Why womanhood is more than crying

I'm stronger now than you have ever known

The cracks you made, I filled with mortar

A broken pot can still hold water

Symphonies and sweat and sex mean nothing when you are obsessed

With sin and soil and strength and song

And all the words that came out wrong and him

Oh, whoa (oh-oh-oh), oh, whoa (oh-oh-oh)

Pray for me 'cause I won't pray for you

Oh, whoa (oh-oh-oh), oh, whoa (oh-oh-oh)

Pray for me 'cause I won't pray for -

I won't, I won't pray for -

Oh, whoa (oh-oh-oh), oh, whoa (oh-oh-oh)

Pray for me 'cause I won't pray for you

Oh, whoa (oh-oh-oh), oh, whoa (oh-oh-oh)

Pray for me 'cause I won't pray for -

I won't, I won't pray for -

I won't, I won't pray for -

I won't, I won't pray for -

I won't pray for -
