Life Will See You Now

Evening Prayer (Feat. LouLou Lamotte)

공유하기
At Babak's school
there is a 3D printer
And he prints out
a model of the tumor
That was surgically
removed from
his back this winter
In its rugged gray plastic
it looks lunar
He puts the tumor
in his breast pocket
As we head out for a beer

It's been a long, hard year
For a friend who's
not sure if
he's close enough
To be allowed to care
or just be there
To include you
in his evening prayer

How I prayed that
I could stop the pain
When the pain needed
more than ibuprofen
How I prayed that
I could take away
your worries
When they ran deeper than
the West Pacific Ocean
He puts the
tumor on our table
Says, "So, this is
what caused all my fears"

It's been a long, hard year
For a friend who's not
sure if he's close enough
To be allowed to
care or just be there
To include you
in his evening prayer

Last orders
the waitress slides
Down from her bar stool
Looks at the tumor
says, "What is this?"
"It looks kinda cool"

Babak's okay despite
what he's been through
But he sees I'm made
uneasy by the model
he's done
He says, "It's helped me
a lot to have a
friend like you
When I saw you worry
I knew I had to be strong"
He gives the tumor
to the waitress
Says, "Give my friend
here a beer"

It's been a long, hard year
I just wasn't sure if
we were close enough
But I want you to
know how much I cared
That you were
in my evening prayer

I want you to know that
you were in my prayer
I want you to know that
you were in my prayer
