Failed Thanks Lyrics
I wanted to say a prayer for you tonight
but I didn't know quite what to say
it seemed like every time I opened my mouth the thoughts just drifted away.
The same old routine and tired cliches were the furtherest thing from my mind.
So I stood there,
water hitting my back,
wondering what it was I had to find.
My mind was tired but I was able to persist,
focusing on you and the reasons we exist.
I didn't pray for you to escape the trials we all go through and love to hate,
because those times seem to help us learn things at a faster rate.
I didn't pray for you to experience only joy,
because life isn't so simple as a marketed children's toy.
The only thing I concluded was that you were on my mind,
and that I was attempting to talk to God, even though my thoughts were confined.
So the attempted prayer for your wellbeing never came to be,
as it ended in a simple comment of thanksgiving that there is a you and me.
