Prayer's end

from Songs from Earth by Henry Hugo

lyrics

Prayer's end

lift your eyes, towards the heights
wrap yourself in everlasting light
do not heed what your eyes can see
I pry how far my prayers get

I feel the depth of my wildest dreams
they pass before me they touch my skin
but they'll never be all fulfilled
just speculate where my prayers end

down by the river where the water's calm
I sit and write my utmost ache
as if I try to break a spell
I can only guess how far my prayers get

I look around with my big brown eyes
then you might say, I can see it all around
but curiosity has made them tired
I cannot conceive how far my prayers reach

I can see the path narrowing ahead
like a bottle neck, there's no way to escape
it's the way we break to the expiring day
then I ask myself are my prayers heard?
