Lyrics

Here you are, your time is near, ev’ry breath is a lifetime.
Here I am next to you and we’re sharing this air.
One more breath, one more minute, one more hour.
Still I will hold you like a prayer.
We are still. I will hold you like a prayer.
You are safe. I will hold you like a prayer.
We are one. I will hold you like a prayer.

Verse 2, for someone who has lost their home:
Here you are, your home is gone and your pure heart is grieving.
Yet here you stand, your life was spared and your nerves are in tatters.
No more smoke, no more flames, no more danger.
Still we will hold you like a prayer.

Verse 3, for anyone who has lived through this trauma:
Here you are, your home still stands and your pure heart is grieving.
And here you are, your life was spared and your nerves are all frayed.
No more smoke, no more flames, no more danger.
Still we will hold you like a prayer.
