Hopeless Prayer
Morgan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

FALLING STAR FALLING FROM HEAVEN
MAGICAL THROUGH THE NIGHT
EVERYONE'S WITH YOU CAUSE YOU'RE GUIDING US
FROM THE VERY BEGINNING OF TIMES

FALLING STAR FALLING FROM HEAVEN
TRAVELING THROUGH THE NIGHT
EVERYONE'S HAPPY THEY'RE TAKING A CHANCE
BUT THEY WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND

FALLING STAR TAKE OUR WISHES
EVEN THE HOPELESS WANT TO TRY
BUT HOW CAN YOU MAKE EM' HAPPEN
IF YOU'RE ONLY ROCK AND DUST?

HOW MANY HEARTS YOU'VE BROKEN?
HOW MANY DREAMS CAME TRUE?
SING A SONG FOR THE HOPELESS
THEY'RE SINGING A SONG FOR YOU

BREATHING THE AIR OF THE SUMMER
WAITING FOR YOU TO SHOW UP
DON'T WANNA MISS IT CAUSE EVERYONE KNOWS
IN A BLINK OF AN EYE YOU'RE GONE

SO MANY TIMES OF FAILURE
TRYING AND TRYING SO HARD
BUT FALLING STARS CANNOT HEAR US
ONLY THE DARKNESS DOES

FALLING STAR TAKE OUR WISHES
EVEN THE HOPELESS WANT TO TRY
BUT HOW CAN YOU MAKE EM' HAPPEN
IF YOU'RE ONLY ROCK AND DUST

HOW MANY HEARTS YOU'VE BROKEN?
HOW MANY DREAMS CAME TRUE?
SING A SONG FOR THE HOPELESS
THEY'RE SINGING A SONG FOR YOU




WE'RE SINGING A SONG FOR YOU
I'M SINGING A SONG FOR YOU

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Hopeless Prayer" by Morgan depict a poignant and reflective perspective on the concept of hope and wishes through the metaphor of a falling star. The imagery of a falling star, traditionally seen as a symbol of luck and guidance, is used to convey a sense of magic and wonder that captivates the listener's imagination. The repeated motif of the falling star descending from heaven and traveling through the night suggests a sense of fleeting beauty and transience, evoking a feeling of passing moments and ephemeral dreams.


The chorus "Falling star take our wishes, even the hopeless want to try" conveys a sense of longing and desperation, as people pin their hopes and dreams on something seemingly unattainable. The juxtaposition of the hopeful yet futile nature of placing one's wishes on a falling star that is merely "rock and dust" highlights the inherent paradox of seeking fulfillment and meaning in the universe. The questioning tone of the lyrics raises philosophical inquiries about the nature of dreams and the role of cosmic entities in granting wishes.


The verses delve deeper into the emotional impact of failed dreams and shattered hopes, as the lyrics ponder on the heartbreak and disappointment that often accompany the pursuit of one's desires. The plea to the falling star to "take our wishes" is laced with a sense of vulnerability and yearning, as the singer contemplates the futility of their prayers in the vast expanse of a indifferent universe. The mention of singing a song for the hopeless serves as a bittersweet ode to those who dare to dream in the face of adversity, highlighting the resilience and spirit of human perseverance.


The closing lines of the song reflect a sense of resignation and acceptance of life's transient nature, as the singer contemplates the fleeting moments of joy and sorrow that define human existence. The imagery of breathing the air of summer and waiting for the falling star to appear, only to witness its sudden disappearance, encapsulates the ephemeral essence of hope and desire. The final declaration of singing a song for the falling star encapsulates a sense of reverence and homage to the intangible forces that shape our lives, reminding us of the beauty and complexity of our shared human experience.
