Lyrics

she gives me love
like a candle in the dark
she gives me wings to fly
high above the stark
she wants the shade not the color
she was invented before you were born
she hears the call
the call within it all

but it don't matter what you pray to
when you get on your knees at night
could be your mother or your father
your sister or your wife

she says the older you get
the closer to the end of line
i just love to listen
listen to her mind
we all need a shot of redemption
from all of this hurt and pain
everybody's got a cross to bear
i hear that old refrain

but it don't matter what you pray to
when you get on your knees at night
could be your brother or your father
anything in this life

so carry on, carry on everyone
your days are numbered
numbered & gone

i've been so far away
from where i want to be
i pray to everything and everyone
the earth, the sky, the sea
you gotta give it all up
give it all up from yourself
find someone and give them everything

but it don't matter what you pray to
when you get on your knees at night
could be your mother or your father
your sister or your wife
you know that sooner or later
not later than right now
you got to find some, got to find someone
you've got to give it up somehow
