Hearing Halfway

A Song

By Rowan Finley Published 7 years ago 1 min read

The world got a little bit quieter

And my mind got a little bit louder

Who knows why? Who knows why?

But I did pray that

If everything was stripped away

Even then

Even then

I'd still praise you

The world got a little bit quieter

And my mind got a little bit louder

Who knows why?

Who knows why?

But I did pray that

If everything was stripped away

Even then

Even then

I'd still praise you

So I'll keep singing from this pit of mine

So I'll keep singing through this prison time

So I'll keep praising through it all

Through it all

So I'll keep praising through it all

Through it all

So I'll keep singing from this pit of mine

So I'll keep singing through this prison time

So I'll keep praising through it all

Through it all

So I'll keep praising through it all

Through it all

The world got a little bit quieter

And my mind got a little bit louder

Who knows why?

Who knows why?

But I did pray that

If everything was stripped away

Even then

Even then

I'd still praise you

Oh, I'll still praise you

Oh, I'll still

Praise you
