It Does Not Hurt to Pray

 

It Does Not Hurt To Pray

This is a song about how there was this good thing that I was reasonably certain was going to happen, but I found out yesterday that it's very unlikely to happen. But there's still a teeny tiny grain-of-sand-sized possibility it could still happen. Because of that, it seems like a good idea to pray for it. But if I verbalized what the thing was, it might be like telling people your wish after blowing out your birthday candles. It might jinx it, is what I'm sayin'.

The lyrics are:

We need a miracle to happen to us today, and we know that it is impossible
Oh, my, it would tickle us pink if it were to play out how we want but it's impossible

It does not hurt to pray....but it does not hurt to pray

I wish I could say the thing that I want to occur, but I'm scared that I'll jinx it real bad
If we put what we want to happen into some words, it will jinx it, and then we'll be sad

It does not hurt to pray...but it does not hurt to pray

It does not hurt to pray
I know this song is a little bit cryptic
It would feel wrong and I'd have a big shit fit
It does not hurt to pray
If I said what this song was about out loud
And I had bad luck and I'm not too proud
To admit that I have some big
Superstitions that you might not dig
If I blow out the birthday candles and
Tell you my wish, it might not be so grand

Blow out the candles and wish for things not to be so fucked up, but I know that they're fucked up
Lost in the shadows, we pray for things not to be so fucked up, but we know that they're fucked up

It does not hurt to pray...but it does not hurt to pray
