And I Pray

Dark and cold closing in
I feel something new begin
Is it a flower that begins to bloom?
Or is it history repeating too soon?
All at once it rushes in
And makes itself my new best friend
Is it safe? I don’t know
But I bought the ticket
So I’ll try and enjoy the show
And I pray tonight
Will show me mercy from its fight
And I pray that tonight
I am wrong and she is right
Dark and warm closing in
I feel something strange within
You’re the flower in full bloom, my friend
You’re the story I can’t wait to tell again
And I pray that tonight
Will show me mercy from its fight
And I pray that tonight
I am wrong and she is right
And I pray every night
That you can feel like me inside
And I pray — I pray to you
You are the saving grace
With a warm embrace
