Naya Rivera – Prayer For The Broken Lyrics

Sometimes I’m overwhelmed with everything I feel
‘Cause I know how it breaks so easily
Sometimes I get so scared it’ll all fall away
And I need to remember just to breath

I tried to let go
Of the things I can’t know
We’re so vulnerable, every one of us
Maybe the only thing that matters is love
Maybe love is the medicine we need

This is a prayer for the broken
For those who are afraid
This is a cry for this brave world
So beautiful and strange
It’s all so temporary, so temporary, but we are not alone
So hold me like you’ll never let me go

When I am here inside the fortress of your arms
You repair all the earthquakes in my heart
So hold me steady like the ground beneath my feet
‘Cause I know just how fragile we all are

I tried to let go like a flower in the snow
We’re so vulnerable, every one of us
Maybe the only thing eternal is love
And love is the evidence we need

This is a prayer for the broken (broken)
For those who are afraid (afraid)
This is a cry for this brave world
So beautiful and strange
It’s all so temporary, so temporary, but we are not alone
So hold me like you’ll never let me go (never let me go)

Until the tears crash down
Until the storm cries out
Let it out
And all the hurt and pain
They wash away

This is a prayer for the broken (this is a prayer for the broken)
For those who are afraid (afraid, yeah)
This is a cry for this brave world
So beautiful and strange
It’s all so temporary, so temporary, but we are not alone (we are not alone)
So hold me like you’ll never let me go
