Lyrics

Unanswered Prayers

What used to be so carefree
Devolved into chains around my heart and heels
Gone are the days of wondering why
I couldn't break free
But I'm strong enough to try
Strong enough to fly
Strong enough to let you wave goodbye

We need to feel our pain
Let it sear through you as it cauterises
We need to see people as they are
Not as we wish them to be
Let no one define
who you are inside
Time will come
Just let them wave goodbye

Some things you can't explain away
When red flags are flailing in your face

Blessed are God’s unanswered prayers
If not for these I’d still be stranded back there
We need to clear a space in our lives
So something new and beautiful can arrive
That lights you up inside
But not before we wave old ways goodbye

Blessed are God’s unanswered prayers
