Where I Like It Best - Rickie Lee Jones[00:00:00]
I wanted to pray[00:00:24]
I wanted to let you go on your way[00:00:30]
I wanted to know why they laid there[00:00:35]
Dying in the streets[00:00:41]
Next to the restaurant[00:00:44]
Where people were eating[00:00:46]
Yes I wanted to pray[00:00:51]
How do you pray in a world like this[00:01:08]
You know I see the people on tv[00:01:15]
And they close their eyes and they bow their heads[00:01:18]
And they say[00:01:21]
Let us pray[00:01:24]
Feels so cold and meaningless[00:01:28]
And I wanted to pray and I said[00:01:32]
Tell me father[00:01:35]
Tell me mother[00:01:39]
Heavenly mother[00:01:43]
And they said[00:01:48]
When you pray pray alone by yourself[00:01:56]
In the secret room of your heart[00:02:01]
Don't go out into the church filled with people and pray[00:02:07]
God hears every secret that you say[00:02:13]
See all those people praying on tv and in the churches[00:02:21]
They like to make a big parade out of what they're doing[00:02:26]
They think God hears them louder if they say it[00:02:32]
Over and over and over and over and over again[00:02:37]
That say[00:02:41]
God[00:02:45]
But I say this[00:02:52]
You are the prayer[00:02:56]
Your eyes are the prayer[00:03:00]
Your hand on your cheek[00:03:04]
You are the prayer[00:03:08]
Those words you want to speak they are the prayer[00:03:13]
That dance you make when you're by yourself[00:03:21]
Just before your mother calls you on the phone[00:03:27]
You are the prayer[00:03:31]
I tell you what you gotta take it back from them[00:03:35]
Because the prayers belong to you[00:03:38]
All you gotta do is say hey hey[00:03:43]
I'm down here too I'm down here too I'm down here too[00:03:48]
And I hear you Jesus[00:03:57]
I hear you[00:04:00]
And I'm near you[00:04:03]
Wonder why there's so much suffering[00:04:05]
I want to say thank you thank you[00:04:13]
Thank you thank you thank you thank you[00:04:16]
I wanted to say thank you thank you[00:04:19]
I wanted to save[00:04:21]
I wanted to save[00:04:24]
You are where I like it best[00:04:33]
You are where I like it best[00:04:42]
You are where I like it best[00:04:49]
That's the Lords' prayer[00:04:58]
You are where[00:05:01]
I wanna be[00:05:04]
So[00:05:07]
Amen[00:05:10]
Just amen[00:05:12]
Amen all by myself amen just amen[00:05:14]
I'm so lonely just amen[00:05:20]
And I'm rising rising just amen[00:05:24]
You can look through my eyes[00:05:31]
Hears through my heart[00:05:35]
Look through my eyes[00:05:39]
