She calls out their namesand moves down the chain
Remembers the words andthe comfort they bring
But it's hard to have faithwith the clatter we make
Filling the space
Til all that remains
Is all blown away
Been working so hardso tired of the heat
Trying to tie up these threadsand make all the ends meet
While everyone sleepsare angels up watching
Waiting their turn
To swoop to the earth
To swoop to the earth
She says prayers are like kitessend'em up to the sky
People flying their hopes onthe thin of a line
Looking for signsthe angels up waiting
For lessons to be learned
With those years to burn
With those years to burn
With those years to burn
With those years to burn
The string it unwinds
The tension pulled tight
And soon breaks the twine
Floating up high
Just one little light
In a black sea of night one little light
She says prayers are like kites
Send'em up to the sky
