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

there will be a day when all the pain will go away... until that day comes, be strong Jo.

and when that day arrives... you will need the strength to let go. know that your friends love you and will be here for you.

let him go... and let us hold you instead.
