A Prayer

Lord, send me a sign
That I’m not wasting my time
Any miracle will do

Turn that stick into a snake
Set fire to the lake
Maybe, make me levitate
Just for a second or two

I’m not asking to split the sea
Or to receive a prophesy
I just don’t want to be alone

I tried to love, but it ended quick
Tried to pray, but it didn’t stick
Tried to believe, but it wouldn’t click
Tried to cry, but I could only moan

Lord, I’m not asking for much
Just for you to be my crutch
‘Cause I cannot support my weight

Don’t turn my water into wine
Don’t flood the oceans or the Rhine
Just let me in on your grand design
‘Cause the hour’s getting late

I don’t need a baptism
I need a key out of this prison
Before my eyes are clouded
And my skin is wizened
Before the horns are sounded
And the corpses risen

I don’t believe in any of the stuff
And if I did, it wouldn’t be enough
But I do believe that help is on its way
If I can mow my lawn and soldier on
Come what may
