[Verse 1 – Male, raspy, quiet]
Knees on the floor again tonight
Hands held tight in candlelight
Words float up but fall like rain
Lord, am I praying in vain
Been down roads that faith can’t see
Talking to eternity
Every hope I send above
Feels like echoes in the dark
[Pre-Chorus – Female, soft harmony]
But something in my soul still says
Don’t give up just yet…
[Chorus – Duet, anthemic, violins rise]
Can you hear me when I pray
When my voice begins to break
Through the doubt, through the fear
Do my words reach holy ears
Can you hear me in the night
When I’m barely holding tight
If faith is all I’ve got to give
Can you hear me… where you live
Whoa… can you hear me…
(Yeah… yeah…)
[Verse 2 – Female lead, emotional]
Mama said just close your eyes
He’s listening beyond the sky
But some days belief feels thin
Like the wind against my skin
Still I send these fragile pleas
Carried on a trembling breeze
Hoping heaven knows my name
Even when I doubt the same
[Pre-Chorus – Duet]
Still a spark inside my chest
Won’t let silence win…
[Chorus – Full duet, stronger]
Can you hear me when I pray
When my voice begins to shake
Through the doubt, through the fear
Do my words reach holy ears
Can you hear me in the night
When I’m barely holding tight
If faith is all I’ve got to give
Can you hear me… where you live
(Oh Lord…)
Can you hear me…
[Bridge – piano break, raw vocals]
Maybe faith ain’t certainty
Maybe faith is asking please
Even when the sky won’t speak
Still believing you hear me
[Final Chorus – biggest, soaring violins]
Can you hear me when I pray
Every word I’m scared to say
Through the doubt, through the fear
Do my prayers land somewhere near
Can you hear me in the night
When I’m reaching for the light
If faith is all I have to give
Can you hear me… where you live
Whoa… can you hear me…
(Yeah… yeah…)
Can you hear me…
[Outro – soft piano, fading]
I’ll keep praying anyway…
Just in case… you hear me…
