Not Every Prayer Uses Words

from Song Seeds by James Tristan Redding

lyrics

Not every story has a happy ending
Not every couple are Johnny and June
Not every new beginning starts out like a fairy tale
Not every flower ever blooms

Not every midnight is lit up with stars
Not every table will deal you twenty one
Not every painting fits into a frame
Not every song can be Up Where We Belong

Sometimes the clock won't tick when a heart is slowly breakin'
Sometimes the boy don't get the girl
Sometimes the music stops and we just stand there waitin'
Sometimes the ones we love are taken from this world
Not every picture shows the way we really were
Not every picture's clear some are just a blur
Not every prayer uses words

Sometimes the sun goes down
