Prayer Without Words Lyrics - Mercy Now - Mary Gauthier

Packing vagabond visions and a dream drenched hunger 

for a home 

Swaddled in road dirt, blood stained blankets and 

poems 

On a stormy suitcase Sunday I awakened to the scream 

of the birds 

They held their high notes and offered prayer without 

words 

Sinking in asphalt, speechlessness and what coulda 

been 

Surrounded by strangers, scarred stars, stoned broken 

men 

Riding the narcotic night 'til she swerved and smashed 

into the curb 

Morning spilled from the wreckage and offered prayer 

without words

Chains on the mast pull the past, nothing lasts but 

nothing ever ends 

I leave town, break new ground, break down, leave town 

again 

Trapped in the circle, anchored to the weight of the 

world 

Under shooting stars that sink the skies and offer 

prayer without words 

Justice rides with jaundiced eyes, jaded judges bleed 

the broken bench 

Liberty's a homicide, she been flogged to death with 

money's monkey wrench 

Desperado apostates set fire to every holy word we've 

heard 

Silence billows from the burning book and offers 

prayer without words

Surrender, that sweet cleaning girl, folds white flags 

in Hallelujah Square 

She can't remember where she's been, one day I'm gonna 

join her there 

Unpack my battered traveling case, hang out a sign 

that says "Do Not Disturb" 

Dissolve into a dreamless sleep that offers prayer 

without words
