The Roches

These and other lyrics can be found at http://www.roches.com/lyrics/zerochurch.html. They also have several scores at http://www.roches.com/scoresnlyrics.html, including three from their Christmas album (Dick, Evan?). Regretfully, the score to the one played tonight is not among them.

Why Am I Praying

Why am I praying
Who's gonna hear?
What I'm saying right now
is from fear
of nothingness
and of everything,
of not knowing enough
and of learning too much,
of being alone
and not having my space,
of being naked in a crowd
or being clothed in disgrace.
So this is what I pray:
To be OK,
to be with those I love
and to know what to say
when I see whatever's above.
