A Prayer (For Those Not Here)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] We were like night and day but found out through those walls Night and day were not so different at all A light at the end of the tunnel I was running for I couldn't pull you from the dark side that you wanted more [Verse 2] Each time it happens, it's still hard to be forgiving To those outnumbered by the ones who call this living And I let myself wander past each and every face Who see the same horizon in so many different ways [Chorus] With a prayer for those not here A few words for the missing friends who leave a hole that never ends A prayer for those not here The ones who somehow disappear and I can feel them everywhere [Verse 3] The one who never lived but talked life theoretically A Brazilian song we used to sing phonetically And they pass along and find a different place And I'm left here trying to fill this empty space [Chorus] With a prayer for those not here A few words for the missing friends who leave a hole that never ends A prayer for those not here The ones who somehow disappear and I can find them everywhere Oh [Verse 4] A little fire so well contained It can barely be called a flame But I don't want to lose it, I'm not ready yet I've learned to forgive but I can't learn to forget [Chorus] A prayer for those not here A few words for the missing friends who leave a hole that never ends A prayer for those not here The ones who somehow disappear and I can feel them everywhere [Outro] A prayer for those not here Oh, a prayer for those not here Oh, a prayer for those not here Oh, a prayer for those not here
