Pray

I used to believe in something mystical beneath
Slowly pulsing in the deep, watching over you and me
Our religion said the same, and I would speak to him by name
Just to channel when I prayed; tend to you and keep you safe

But all the things I asked for
Were much too tall an order

I am trying to be strong but my rules have all gone wrong
She does not deserve this harm; did you plan it all along?
So I take a splash of water
And I pray for your daughter

But the seal at the end of the day
Can't be broken and won't fall away
And I cry through the words that I say
When all I've left is to pray

I want to believe in something mystical beneath
Slowly rising from the deep
