Ain't it dark, ain't it dark, as the devil's heart
The fabric is struggling, it's ripping apart
Propaganda's pervasive, and peace feels evasive
Truth is a buffet, served a la carte
Truth is a buffet, served a la carte
Ain't it loud, ain't it loud, like a cavern in a crowd
Bouncing and echoing, surrounded by sound
Unable to think, bounding up to the brink
The canaries in the coal mine, flying unbound
The canaries in the coal mine, flying unbound
But I, I love you, you, yes even you
I don't care about your hometown, persuasion, or color, religion, or gender, or anything other
Even in the times when I don't want to, I still love you
Ain't you tired, ain't you tired, with worn out eyes
From seeing explosions of sick stimuli
Wars of attrition, omission, division
Designed to distract, while they steal us blind
Designed to distract, while they steal us blind
Well I, I'm praying for you, and you, yes even you
I am praying for judgment, discernment, and grace
I'm praying for courage, for joy, and for peace
It's the most powerful thing I can do
I'm praying for you
Ain't it bright, ain't it bright, like a torch in the night
The failure of darkness to snuff out the light
In the midst of this sadness, you pour out your kindness
The darkness recedes, it's too weak to fight
The darkness recedes, it's too weak to fight
Well I, I wish the best for you, and you, yes even you
I don't care if you're rich
I don't care if you're poor
If you're young or you're old, great things are in store
I hope that all of your best dreams come true
I wish the best for you, and I'll still love you
Now won't you pray for me too
