[English]

Two, three

...

It's the sound of it that brings me there

This city locked into the song of prayer

That finds no melody

Every moment of the working day

The twitching muscles in each step I take

The prayer is all of me

That I'd be

Anywhere that you are, that you are

That I'd be

Anywhere that you are, that you are

...

Maybe I have yet to venture out

See the places that I hear about

Planes and trains and cars

Carve their lines into curve-like blades

All I get to are mistakes half-made

Leave the door ajar

But I'd be

Anywhere that you are, that you are

That I'd be

Anywhere that you are, you are

...

But prayer

Is all of me, all of me

The prayer

Is all of me, all of me

That I'd be

Anywhere that you are, that you are

That I'd be

Anywhere that you are, that you are

...
