i'll wait and pray.

jazz always gets me thinking and feeling.

listening to: john coltrane - i'll wait and pray

i'll wait and pray

i'm afraid one day my heart

will swell up in my 

constricted and conflicted chest

like a hot air balloon and 

explode

my soul will float up up

and away to heaven

caring so deeply about 

so many people

especially you

can't be healthy.

every night i say a prayer

to keep me strong from one

day to the next but i always

make time before the alter of

God to pray for you 

like

i pray for myself because 

i 

don't

know

who will if i won't.

so i'll sit and i'll wait 

and pray
