I pray even if
I take no part
My aim
Takes place
In the aimless heart
And oh, our secrets will
Find the day
And oh, our love is pure
Put poison
And oh, our bitters pure
Even in devour

I wouldn't pray for you if I only knew love's way

I stay even if
I don't believe
My aim
Takes place
In the aimless heart
And oh, our secrets will
Find the way
And our love's fright
Poison's heart
And oh, our bitters pure
Even in devour
I wouldn't pray for you if I only knew love's way
I wouldn't pray for you if I only knew love's way

I might be a little crazy, y'know, but your mindset has to be, if you don't give it all, I don't want it. That's what your mindset has to be, you have to be prepared to hold out. So now psychologically, you have to understand that many of us in here are not by ourselves, because we have to be. Neither are you by yourself, because you're below standard. Some folk are by themselves, because they are special. And ain't nobody measure that! And you gotta quit going down. Oh, I wish I could talk to ya. And let's all come up! I'm up here, and I ain't going down there. I've been through too much hell to get up here. And I sure ain't going back down there! Hmm...
