Pray
If I pray only for a favor should I not receive
Why would I ask for such a blessing? God knows what I need.
If I pray only in sadness, add my darkness to the sky
Maybe I could learn to talk to God without a troubled mind.
Without a troubled mind, I'll meet you someday,
United with all who speak to You. They'll teach me how to pray.
Once I met a child of the mountain, a child of the sea.
And all the proud words I could have spoken became strangers to me.
Silence was the only sound I could make; yet I never felt alone.
With all who ask God only for Himself, my heart found a home.
With all who ask God only for Himself, my heart found a home.
