lyrics

Prayer

May evening fall
and find your head
upon my shoulder
And may we sit down
to a table set for ten
May the schoolyards
fill with laughter
And the doors
Burst open wide

And in the morning
May we all begin again

May we be unafraid in rooms
of crowded strangers
And meet a neighbour
with no need
to turn away
may we gather to remember
those we miss
and open up our arms
to all of those we love

And in the morning
May we all begin again

May evening fall
Across the world
And find us better
May the walls of silence
rumble with our prayers
though we were far apart
may we be ever closer
And in the morning
May we all begin again
