Pray for Change

about

I believe this is the most recently composed song on this album. You can compare it to the others and see how little has changed.
Eli's drum groove at the beginning makes it almost sound like a Police track (if it wasn't for the heavy guitar).

lyrics

When I open my eyes to start my day
I get right up and run away
And don't come back until the day is done

When I close my eyes to go to sleep
I get no rest and just count sheep
And think of all the things that have gone wrong

And I pray for change

For a taste of sweet I'll eat the sour
For a moment I'll waste an hour
And for a kind word I'll tell another lie

To keep a piece I'll risk the whole
For a bit of earth I'd sell my soul
For a better life I'd gladly die

And I pray for change
And I pray for change

I pray for change most everyday
Pray for things to go away
Pray fervently for other things to stay
No matter what the people say
I continue to pray
And I pray
I pray for change

When all the sunlight turns to rain
And all the world is wrapped in pain
I'll pray
I'll pray for change
