**Thank You Lord**

lyrics and music by Phoenix

ART: Alex North

Thank you, Lord, have mercy and forgive,
For I almost gave up halfway through,
For folding my wings in mid-flight,
Almost betraying my cherished dream.

For believing in forecasts, and not in dreams,
For putting feelings in their place in my heart.
And choking on tears on a wicked night,
When I could have helped others with at least something.

For not being afraid of the abyss at the edge,
I flew up, with dirt beneath my feet.
For the ghostly gossip about me,
Drowning like pathetic flies in wine.

For leading me by the hand, like a blind man,
And wiping burning tears from my face.
For not speaking loudly of kindness,
But sharing it and loving people for everything.

For calming my soul,
When I was burying a friend.
For sending me worthy enemies,
And standing as a wall before a mortal danger.

Forgive me for being disappointed,
In a beautiful world where I found no shelter.
For not noticing the warm ray of the sun,
And not being afraid of cold-blooded executioners.

Forgive me for almost losing faith,
In love and happiness, without trying to reach for them.
But only your voice whispered at night: "Believe!",
And do not lock your heart's door to people.

I come to you with a prayer again,
To cast out all the devils from this world.
Because you can save not only me,
Thank you, Lord, have mercy and forgive.
