Lyrics
Silent Prayer
I heard some news I can't comprehend
I can't understand it makes me sick inside
All I keep saying is why God why
My heart keeps praying but I feel like I'm losing my faith
I feel so ashamed
All I keep saying is its so unfair
Why are you taking one who should be spared?
I feel so betrayed
When push comes to shove is your love enough?
Only the good get taken, in your world their awakened
But our world is left shaken and confused
Only the good get taken I feel my heart breaking
And the lights are fading way too soon
Yet it's your faith that gets you through the day
Gets you through each night
When you can't escape the pain
So who am I to question why
Increase my faith this is my silent prayer
And when I feel afraid remind me your still there
When I'm alone and I lose hope
Please hear my prayer
Only the good get taken, in your world their awakened
But our world is left shaken and confused
Only the good get taken I feel my heart breaking
And the lights are fading way too soon
Increase my faith this is my silent prayer
And when I feel afraid remind me your still there
When I lose hope And I'm alone
Please hear my prayer
Please hear my prayer
Please hear my prayer
