Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And watch us where we go
And help us to be wise
In times when we don't know
Let this be our prayer
As we go our way
Lead us to a placeGuide us with your grace
To a place where we'll be safe
I pray we'll find your light
And hold it in our hearts
When stars go out each night
Remind us where you are
Let this be our prayer
When shadows fill our day
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
We ask that life be kind
And watch us from above
We hope each soul will find
Another soul to love
Let this be our prayer
Just like every child
Needs to find a place
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
Need to find a place
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
In "The Prayer," CHLOE sings a heartfelt ballad about prayer and faith. The lyrics allude to the idea of being lost but trusting in a higher power to guide and protect us. In the opening verse, CHLOE prays that the divine will watch over and guide us when we find ourselves in situations where we don't know what to do. This could be interpreted as asking for protection, guidance, and wisdom in uncertain times. The chorus emphasizes the importance of this prayer as we navigate through life, with the ultimate goal of finding a safe place to call home.
The second verse of the song speaks to the ever-present hope that, even in the darkest of times, we will find light and hold onto it. CHLOE wants the listener to remember that the divine is always near, even when the stars seem to disappear from the sky. The chorus repeats, underscoring the essential nature of prayer and trusting in a higher power to guide us in the right direction. The final verse asks that the divine watch over us and those we love, providing kindness and compassion as we journey through life. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, ending with a plea for guidance and faith.
