Learn To Pray - Rebecca Pidgeon

It’s always something isn’t it, always something,

Never the one thing that you’d grown use to.

So you rush to find that influence that will bridge the divide,

Nobody left you a guide your protection’s down, you’re open wide

Never mind, never mind, never mind

Don’t they say that’s always the way

You better learn to play, that’s always the way.

Hapless custodian of what’s too lovely to describe,

You better find someplace to hid,

What’s too precious to mention.

No you don’t know what to do with all that painful stuff you feel,

Sometimes forgotten but all to real,

When what’s concealed become revealed.

Never mind, never mind, never mind

Don’t they say that’s always the way

You better learn to pray, that’s always the way.

You never did learn to sit before,

And simply know the score,

Know the undertone,

Or to lay, or to lay, or to lay me down by the still waters.

Broken yet luminous

Like a thousand shards of light,

Or more numerous than the stars at night,

Waiting for some mystic union,

Oh yes it’s holy work, but is it too hard a road to hoe?

A prize, or a scary place to go?

To be discovered, or remained unknown.

Never mind, never mind, never mind

Don’t they say that’s always the way

Never mind, never mind, never mind

Don’t they say that’s always the way

You better learn to pray.
