I remember when I was a teen I prayed to my god to make her blind in love he replied he made her transparent To make sure I saw beyond her pretty Since my god doesn't understand me I pray to the God of my mother To open my eyes To see the beauty in everyone So I too can love I will remember yesterday for now I am here I am lost ,the fog blinding, the earth burying I would pray to my god to lift my burden But since my god may not understand me I pray to the God of my mother To give me a strong heart To be able to lift the weight of the world So I can again live
