Lyrics
[Intro] [fingerpicked guitar, soft pad fading in] [Verse 1] [bare, guitar and voice] I was small when my mama showed me how To fold my hands and lay my whole self down Talkin' to a sky I couldn't see Hopin' Someone way up there heard me I didn't know the words, I just knew the sound Of askin' to be held and not let down [Chorus] [brushed drums in, light double] And I pray to You But I lie awake and wonder if it's true — When the whole world's sleepin' and I'm the only one Do You fold Your hands when the day is done? I pray to You God, do You ever pray for me too? [Verse 2] [bass and piano fill out] We're all gettin' a little older and I've done my part And a little more weight settin' on my heart I think about the day I'll have to leave And finally meet the One I couldn't see And I wonder, will You know me when I come Or were You right beside me all along [Chorus] [fuller] And I pray to You But I lie awake and wonder if it's true — When the whole world's sleepin' and I'm the only one Do You fold Your hands when the day is done? I pray to You God, do You ever pray for me too? [Bridge] [drop to piano and steel, intimate] What if You need me believin' You are there The way I need to know that You still care What if every night I'm down here on the floor There's a part of Heaven hopin' I want more — Hopin' that I stay, hopin' that I call Maybe love was never one way after all [Final Chorus] [full band, shimmer and pad swell, high harmony] So I pray to You And maybe now I finally believe it's true — That when the whole world's sleepin' and I'm the only one You're foldin' up Your hands when the day is done I pray to You And God, I think You pray for me too [Outro] [guitar and one held pad note, almost spoken] I pray to You... And You pray for me too
