Have you looked into their eyes Have you heard their whispered cries Have you seen them kneel With their hands touching palms Have you seen them In the light Of the candle They just lit As they pray for your beloved As they pray for her to live I have never been so humbled felt so grateful or so loved I am awestruck By the feelings That comes From up above I know that they Aren’t waiting For my heartfelt Gratitude I won’t touch them On the shoulder Or think to intrude So instead I touch my hands together And as I bend my knee My lips begin to move Have you seen them kneel With their hands touching palms Have you seen them In the light Of the candle They just lit As they pray for your beloved As they pray for her to live I have never been so humbled felt so grateful or so loved
