How Can I Pray When I Don’t Believe (The Elephant)

Lyrics

Four or five years backed an old man walked by my side For telling "son, there will come days when you will wanna die" Now a few years later I think I know what the old man meant He stood there by the river, he knew his time was spent How can I be when I don't wanna be? How can I see when I just cannot see? How can I be when I don't think it's real? How can I pray when I don't believe? How can I sing so you don't understand? How can I see when you're not even mine? How can I search when I don't think it's fun? How can I pray when I don't believe? How can I pray when I don't believe? And how can I be when I don't wanna be? And how can I see when I just cannot see? And how can I be when I don't think it's real? How can I pray when I don't believe? Four or five tears ago a child was walking by my side Clutching society's papers like snow, when will you wanna die? Now a few steps later he threw them to the wind Just standing by the river, he knew this time he'd sinned How can I be when I don't wanna be? How can I see when I just cannot see? How can I be when I don't think it's real? How can I pray when I don't believe? How can I sing so you won't understand? How can I see when you're not even mine? How can I search when I don't think it's fun? How can I pray? How can I be when I don't wanna be? How can I see when there's nothing to see? How can I feel when I don't think it's real? How can I pray when I don't believe, yeah? How can I be when I don't wanna be? How can I see when there's no one to see? How can I feel when I don't think it's real? How can I pray when I don't believe, yeah? Ahh
