Voice Of A Prayer

Words & Music by Norm Zabala

An overwhelming sadness just came over me

Accompanied by helpless despair

Lord help me find the answers so that I can be

More than just the voice of a prayer

Got the burden of others resting on my back

I'm starting to struggle with this heavy load

Pondering losses and the fortunes we lack

I'm starting to stumble every step on this road

Sometimes I'm a stranger on a parallel plane

Without a care or a frown

Nameless and aimless like a whispering rain

Laying my worries gently down on the ground

But if you should meet me in this alternate stream

Pretend not to know me, don't stop to chat

Don't want to deceive you with my avatar dream

So just walk on by, and leave it at that

'Cause when I recover from this momentary slumber

I'll be back here trudging through snow and sand

Dragging my load over and under

Every obstacle to where one day I will stand

An overwhelming feeling just came over me

Accompanied by lightness of air

Lord gave me an answer, told me to believe

Believe in the voice of a prayer
