An atheists prayer

It takes a tragedy
To get through to you and me
It takes a tragedy
To see what's next to me

You went searching every road
But what were you looking for
Always a locked door
You'd just invite your secret world

It's temporary, that is all
Hold you tight when you are falling
Feels like you sink forever
When you blink you're coming up for air

Well, how many times would get you ahead
But we never came out dead
So close your eyes and we'll cry for peace
An atheists prayer we'll try for free

Wish i knew you better
Wish i would have been there
Wish i knew you better
Wish i would have been there...
