I don't know what to pray for

Every night I rub my tears

Over the hand

The hand through which

Has made my world a better place

Every night I rub my tears

Over the hand

The hand through which

I feel life slowly ebbing away

Every night I rub my tears

Over his hand

I rub his hand

And I don't know what to pray for

Godspeed on your journey?

Hang on, won't you Dad?

Relax, we've got things covered?

There's no need to be sad?

What does one say to a sleeping body?

One that's betrayed the shining soul within?

What can you tell to a beautiful mind?

A mind that is more than ready

I just don't know what to pray for

You've given me all you can

Thank you Dad for everything

You've made me who I am

Every night I shed my tears

Over a man

Who has shown me

How to be an inspiration

Every night I shed my tears

Over a man

Who has taught me

What it means to be a man

Every night I shed my tears

Over the man

Who has loved me

More than I ever realised

Is there a point...

... if it's never good enough?

... if you can never get it right?

... if your best efforts are seen as the complete opposite?

... if who you are is just a waste of space?

... if you're a fuck up?

... to any of it, at all?
