When you pray
Do you look up
Immediately
When things blow up
With disaster
Feeling cursed
What is laughter
When nerves burst
Wiped away
Hammer blows
Why we pray
God only knows
Oh it hurts
You want to run
Sometimes in life
It is not fun
The pain beyond
The physical
Mind destroying
This is real
Desperate yells
Body shivers
Nowhere to hide
The end delivers
Hostile whispers
Call to you
Just end it now
What do you do
All the others
You have known
May have shared
Your inner moan
Blasted tears
Wash your face
Fears are seeking
Holy Grace
On your chest
Your hands will guard
To sooth and comfort
They press hard
Anguish wrinkles
On your brow
Breathing halts
You forgot how
Hatred finds
What is hidden
Preys upon
What is forbidden
In all the sorrow
Ever sanctioned
It makes you see
What needs thanking
It’s hard to see
What is fair
If all you see
You just don’t care
For all the joy
You never had
The crying years
Weren’t all bad
The eyes that water
So reveal
In your heart
What is real
What pushes mind
To search for more
There is passion
When you look for
To feel such pain
That you are in
Simply allows
You to begin
Don’t hide the tears
And let them fall
We are human
After all
To miss a tear
And lock it up
Denies your right
This is a holdup
All the crimes
Done to you
Without love
Harm you too
Some help you need
And that’s ok
No one alone
Can live this way
When you are here
And need a hand
Hold your heart
Rise up and stand
With this gift
To hold onto
Faith is the power
To get you through
