A Prayer (For Those Not Here)

[Verse 1]
We were like night and day but found out through those walls
Night and day were not so different at all
A light at the end of the tunnel I was running for
I couldn't pull you from the dark side that you wanted more

[Verse 2]
Each time it happens, it's still hard to be forgiving
To those outnumbered by the ones who call this living
And I let myself wander past each and every face
Who see the same horizon in so many different ways

[Chorus]
With a prayer for those not here
A few words for the missing friends who leave a hole that never ends
A prayer for those not here
The ones who somehow disappear and I can feel them everywhere

[Verse 3]
The one who never lived but talked life theoretically
A Brazilian song we used to sing phonetically
And they pass along and find a different place
And I'm left here trying to fill this empty space

[Chorus]
With a prayer for those not here
A few words for the missing friends who leave a hole that never ends
A prayer for those not here
The ones who somehow disappear and I can find them everywhere
Oh

[Verse 4]
A little fire so well contained
It can barely be called a flame
But I don't want to lose it, I'm not ready yet
I've learned to forgive but I can't learn to forget

[Chorus]
A prayer for those not here
A few words for the missing friends who leave a hole that never ends
A prayer for those not here
The ones who somehow disappear and I can feel them everywhere

[Outro]
A prayer for those not here
Oh, a prayer for those not here
Oh, a prayer for those not here
Oh, a prayer for those not here
