Sinner'S Prayer
Erna Sully Lyrics

To love the right,
To want to do what is right and good, but end up making the wrong choices.

Yet do so wrong.
Despite wanting to do what is right, end up making the wrong choices.

To be the weak,
To feel powerless and vulnerable.

Yet burn to be so strong.
Despite feeling powerless, crave strength and power.

Go rider, although your ride has been through lies.
Keep going, even though your journey so far has been marked by deception and falsehoods.

Go rider, see your soul through the devils eyes.
Gain insight into your own soul from the perspective of evil.

If I could live my life again,
Expressing regret for past mistakes and wishing for a second chance.

Would I live that life in sin?
Questioning whether they would make the same sinful choices if given another chance.

Go rider, go ride into the night.
Encouraging the artist to keep going, despite the darkness and uncertainty ahead.

Go rider, now see your soul through a woman's eyes.
Gain insight into your own soul from the perspective of femininity and love.

I am sinner.
Admitting their own wrongdoing and sinfulness.

Hold my prayers up to the sun. (Hold my prayers up to the sun)
Trying to seek some form of redemption or forgiveness by offering prayers up to a higher power.

Heaven's closed for what I've done.
Acknowledging that their own actions have barred them from entering Heaven.

What have I done? (What have I done?)
Expressing guilt and questioning the consequences of past actions.

Heaven's closed for what I've done.
Repeating the realization that their own actions have prevented them from entering Heaven.

I am sinner. (I am sinner)
Again admitting their own wrongdoing and sinfulness.

Hold my prayers up to the sun. (Hold my prayers up to the sun)
Repeating the act of trying to seek redemption or forgiveness through prayer.

Heaven's closed for what I've done.
Repeating the realization that their own actions have barred them from entering Heaven.
