Owen Mac Lyrics

Praying
Asking for help through words addressed to a higher power

Praying for someone like me
Requesting divine intervention on behalf of another person

Not long ago I was thinking of home
I was reminiscing about my past, my family and my roots

And I wondered if mama
I was contemplating the well-being of my mother

Was there all alone
Was she without anyone to accompany her

I thought I dropped by
I considered visiting her, as I had before

Like I′ve done before
As I had done on previous occasions

But the sound from within
But the audible content emanating from inside

Made me stop at the door
Prevented me from entering the threshold

She was praying
She was communicating with a higher power

A sound that the world seldom hears
A noise that is rarely experienced by humanity

Praying
Asking for help through words addressed to a higher power

Her words were pleading and clear
Her statements were imploring and intelligible

The sound of her voice,
The auditory output of her vocal cords

As she call my name
When she summoned me by my given title

Brought tears to my eyes
Caused liquid to emerge from my tear ducts

My heart felt ashamed
I was embarrassed and experiencing guilt

Praying
Asking for help through words addressed to a higher power

I was walking one night
I was ambling along during the evening hours

And I felt so alone
And I was perceiving a sense of loneliness

My heart was weary from the troubles I've known
I was experiencing fatigue due to the problems I've encountered

I had noticed a church that was near
I had become aware of a nearby place of worship

'Till the sound from within
Until the noise from within

Seem to fill the air
Appeared to occupy the atmosphere

They were praying
They were communicating with a higher power

A sound that the world seldom hears
A noise that is rarely experienced by humanity

Praying
Asking for help through words addressed to a higher power

The children that God loves so dear
The offspring that the divine being cares for deeply

Outside in the darkness
In the open air while it was dimly lit

I could not see
I was unable to perceive with my eyes

But I could picture them they're on their knees
However, I was able to imagine that they were in a position with their shins on the ground

Praying
Asking for help through words addressed to a higher power

Praying for someone like me
Asking for divine intervention on behalf of me

They were praying
They were communicating with a higher power

Praying for someone like me
Asking for divine intervention on behalf of me
