She hardly leaves her room some days

I have never been the type to go to church

And I have never prayed for anyone but her

But I pray for her each night, dreaming that it might catch her ear
D C
I hope, my dear, life doesn't wear you down

The wind is rising

The sun is shining

The dawn is breaking

The world is waking

The choir sings

The people pray their sins away

Please don't forget that I'm your friend
