I DON’T KNOW HOW TO PRAY Lyrics
[Intro]
Baruch atah Adonai Elohenu, melekh ha'olam, shehecheyanu v'kiy'manu v'higianu laz'man hazeh
Blessed art thou, o Lord our God, King of the universe, you give us life, health and many mysteries to pursue
Amen
[Verse: Sam Harris]
I don't know how to pray
But here I am in this bathroom, hopin' you'll come back soon
Knees on the floor, prayin' to a Lord I don't know
I don't know how to pray
'Cause if I did, I'd be worthless, all I know is curses
You let me down, still, I'm feelin' guilty somehow
So here I go, "Oh, God, oh, God, oh, God, what do I do?
I've got, I've gotta ask a favor from you
And I know, I know we've never spoken before
But I hope you hear me, oh, Lord
Please let my brother live
And let me learn to forgive
And why do bad things happen to good people?
That's all, I guess, amen"
And God said—
[Outro: [?] & [?]]
...where you're definitely not the same person you were as a kid, but then you sort of come back full circle when you sort of start to become comfortable with who you are (Right) and less trying to be something or someone.
Yeah, do you guess that was kind of like, your, at the basis of, like, a part of your struggle as a kid, like trying, feeling like you didn't know yourself?
I feel like that was something for everyone (Right) and everything. I feel like during my twenties, one of the biggest struggles for me was, you know, finding love.
