Prayer
Performed and composed by: Peniel Roxas
I was raised in a box, a dollhouse confined in people’s dreams
My life laid out in front of me and I’m counting down the days
The rules were simple, slick and clean, the walls were thin --I couldn’t breathe
But suddenly
I saw
A crack on the wall

I took the leap
And I was finally free

The air was full, I had my way, I lived how I wanted to live
For the first time in my life I was free to love and far away from hate
I climbed the nearest mountain top, I ran with hope, I never stopped
And suddenly
I fell

My “failures” seemed to be
What people wanted to see

The whispers turned to prayers and prayers turned to screams
Silence left unknown
I fell and started to sing
Mm~

I had a secret, I suppressed I wanted to live a normal life
I thought I had it right, I drew the cards and bet to survive
I ended up hurting still reaching for emptiness above
I didn’t ask to take one step, bend the rules and fall in love

But I’m tired of keeping score
I’m tired of hiding from you
As long as the people who matter approves
As long as I hold my truth

Whispers turn to prayers and prayers turn to screams
The silence will be ours
If we continue to sing
Mm~

The whispers turned to prayers, my prayers turned to screams
All I’ll ever keep
Is this song that sets me free
