A Stranger's Prayer

You tell me that you see me

But I don’t know that you’re there

You say you always hear me

All my big unanswered prayers

I’m starving for your hunger

To come and give some love

I need to feel some shelter

From the storm you don’t feel above

They say that you will care for

All those that are left behind

Your kind and caring muteness

Is the type I’ll never find

But you have so much to give me

The wealth that I don’t know

The means to solve my hurting

The kind you have yet to show

So from way across the ocean

I send my prayer to you

Please do the things you pray for

And to your heart be true.
