Pleas and Prayers

For Christian, from Heike

Don't even know why I am here
Eyes are closed but I still write
When in my heart I feel the earthquake
I don’t know if he’ll make it through the night

I know we all must leave the building 
Slip right off this mortal coil
Does it matter who the name is 
Take me now, please, just leave him alone

Is anybody listening to these pleas and prayers
Does it make the slightest difference
It's just the hurt who care
When the situation’s dangerous when it all could end
I'll do anything it takes yeah even if it's not fair

Is it strength in numbers or in a single life
That pricks a godly conscience to turn
The water into wine

I had no shame, I had no problem to lay my sorrow at their feet
I wasn't mocked they understood you
It could be them if it wasn't me
