Where I Like It Best |
I wanted to pray |
I wanted to let you go on your way |
I wanted to know why they laid there |
Dying in the streets next to the restaurant |
Where people were eating and yes |
I wanted to pray |
How do you pray in a world like this |
You know, I see the people on TV |
And they close their eyes and they bow their heads |
And they say «Let us pray» |
And it feels so cold and meaningless |
And I wanted to pray |
And I said |
Tell me father |
Tell me mother |
Heavenly mother |
And they said |
When you pray |
Pray alone by yourself |
In the secret room of your heart |
Don’t go out into the church filled with people and pray |
God hears every secret that you say |
See all those people praying on TV and the churches |
They like to make a big parade out of what they’re doing |
They think God hears them louder if they say it |
Over and over and over and over and over again |
But I say, God, but I say this |
You are the prayer |
Your eyes are the prayer |
Your hand on your cheek |
You are the prayer |
Those words you want to speak |
They are the prayer |
That dance you make |
When you’re by yourself |
Just before your mother calls you on the phone |
You are the prayer |
I tell you what |
You gotta take it back from them |
Because the prayers belong to you |
All you gotta do is say hey hey |
I’m down here too, I’m down here too |
I’m down here too |
And I hear you in the trees |
And I hear you |
And I’m near you |
I wonder why there’s so much suffering |
I want to say thank you, thank you |
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you |
I wanted to say thank you, thank you |
I wanted to say |
I wanted to say |
You are where I like it best |
You are where I like it best |
You are where I like it best |
That’s the Lords' prayer |
«You are where I want to be» |
So, amen, just amen |
Amen, all by myself, amen, amen |
I’m so lonely, just amen |
And I’m rising, rising, just amen |
You can look through my eyes |
Hear through my hear |
Look through my eyes |
