Prayer
Ray Wylie Hubbard
[Verse 1]
Sometimes I puzzle 'bout the spirits
And why fear and trembling's always 'round
Seems the last time God pitched in down here
Was when Pharaoh and his army was drowned
[Verse 2]
When I seek to unravel the sacred
I get perplexed and overwhelmed
I'm not in tune with the ecclesiastical
Can't get a fix on the ethereal ground
[Verse 3]
When all is lost and we have no courage
[?] ain't gonna get us through
The old folks say "Well now all we can do is pray"
Well perhaps that's the best thing we can do
[Verse 4]
I'm not profound or perceptive
Most time I don't know what I say
It's likely God don't need to hear my prayers
I just need to hear me praying
