IF THESE WALLS PRAYED

That's spot beside my bed
Got more prayers than any church I know
These walls heard me ask God questions
I was scared to ask out loud
They heard: God, how am I gonna pay this?
God, how much longer can I take?
Heard me crying with my hand over my mouth
So nobody knew I wasn't okay

If these walls could tell my business
They could tell you where I've been
But if these walls ever learned to pray
They'd sound a whole lot like me

Yeah, if these walls pray
They say: God, please stay
Don't let me lose myself trying to make it through
Another day
Yeah, if these walls pray
They know every word to say
'Cause they watched me fall apart
Then watched you put me back in place
They know my tears, they know my pain
They know how many nights I called your name
If these walls pray
They sound a lot like me

These walls know about the phone calls
I answered sounding perfectly fine
Then hung up and sat there staring
At absolutely nothing for a while
They know when the money got funny
When the food started getting low
When I walked from room to room asking: God, what am I supposed to do?
And they've seen the other side too
The morning something finally changed
When the answer I've been waiting for showed up after all those days
So these walls don't only know my crying
They know what happened when I prayed

If these walls pray
They say: God, please stay
Don't let me lose myself trying to make it through
Another day
Yeah, if these walls pray
They know every word to say
'Cause they watched me fall apart
Then watched you put me back in place
They know my tears, they know my pain
They know how many nights I called your name
If these walls pray
They sound a lot like me

These walls heard I can't do this, it hurts
God, help me through this
Heard me ask where are you?
Then watched you prove you never moved
They've seen me empty, they've seen me blessed
They've heard me whisper: God, what's next?
If anybody knows how far you brought me
These walls do

If these walls pray
Oh, the stories they could tell
If these walls pray
They know, you know me well
Every help me, every thank you
Every God, I need you now
Every night, every tear
You were right here
These walls know
These walls know
God was here
God was here
If these walls pray
They sound a lot like me

One day I'm gonna leave this room
But these walls will always know
This is where God and I
Had some of our best conversations
