Lyrics
[verse]
Every night I kneel beside this empty bed
Whisper out the words that echo in my head
Not asking for riches, not asking for gold
Just asking for the arms I used to hold
[chorus]
Hear my prayer, wherever you are
Hear my prayer beneath this lonely star
Bring you back before the morning light
Hear my prayer, my love, tonight
[verse]
I light a candle when the house goes dark and still
Send it up to heaven like I know I always will
If there's a power listening up above
Send back to me the one that I still love
[chorus]
Hear my prayer, wherever you are
Hear my prayer beneath this lonely star
Bring you back before the morning light
Hear my prayer, my love, tonight
[bridge]
Strings are rising soft like incense in the air
Carrying this quiet, aching prayer
No matter how far you have gone from me
I'll keep on praying till you're home, you'll see
[chorus]
Hear my prayer, wherever you are
Hear my prayer beneath this lonely star
Bring you back before the morning light
Hear my prayer, my love, tonight
