Oh mother, hear my prayer,
listen in this lonely hour
I'm putting words on paper,
seeking reason, seeking rhyme
It's cold here, the winter's come,
we huddle into bed at night
I light a candle, I say a prayer,
give me something to believe in
I hoped, I hoped very hard,
Counted stars, I've lain in battle,
I'm feeling pain, it hurts so much
The frost comes, it's diamond touch
freezes everything inside
Praise the beauty in this despair
Give me something to believe in
Oh holy holder of sacred hearts,
I know where you take me to
Won't you please help me through?
The earth beneath, the rolling sea,
Please help me to believe in
Give me something to believe in.
