Beach Prayer

Oh Lord
Give me the strength to live long enough
To sea the shore again
For Lord,
Living is hard
It’s so hard
I have to kill myself for everything

Oh Lord
Nothing is more worthwhile
On Earth than sleeping soundly on the sand
Oh Lord
Nothing is more worthwhile
Than chipper waves atop an FM band

Oh Lord
Give me the strength to live long enough
To fear the shore again
All these hours
Men try to hoard like bread
Yet there they slither through their brittle hands

Like beatles from the sun when a rock is overturned
The flowers in your hair will fade before they burn
The music that you wrote so long ago will yet give way
To the sound of horse flies nipping at your ear

Oh Lord
Give me the strength to live long enough
To hear the shore again
For Lord
I’m losing heart
And so much blood
That I’m not strong enough to make it art

Oh Lord, give me the strength that others find from love
For I only find it in the salt that Gaia cried
Oh Lord, I ask for everything
And watch me ask for more
The sun sets in the west, and yet I never rest

Oh Lord
Give me the strength to live long enough
To feal the shore again
For Lord
I’m losing heart
I’ve given out, I’ve given in, I’ve given everything

It’s so hard
I have to kill myself for everything
It’s so hard
I have to kill myself for everything
It’s so hard
I have to kill myself for everything
