PRAYING FOR FEATHERS *
© Words and  Music: Elizabeth Russell / Donna Aylor  

Her legs dangle over the brick wall    
She draws in a deep breath
A hundred feet above the cars below
She blows the smoke from a cigarette
                                                   
This is where her note begins
Here alone at the end
 
This is what it says
This is what it says
This is what it says
 
CHORUS
I can’t stay here forever
On this ledge praying for feathers  
Lord I need you now more than ever
I need your strength
So I’m praying for feathers
 
She’s done the diets, pills, she’s tried them all
Now the mirror doesn’t lie  
The names they call her make her feel so small
Sometimes she wishes she could die
  
Just a kind word could have helped …ease the pain
In her note she tells it well
 
This is what it says
This is what it says
This is what it says
 
REPEAT CHORUS
 
Bridge 
The wind sweeps across her face
The note slips from her hand 
She feels the presence of a soft embrace
The words drift down and land
 
Chorus
I can’t stay here forever
I know my life will get better
Cause I’ve been changed now here and forever
On this ledge praying for feathers
 
I’ve been changed now here forever
On this ledge praying for feathers
Your wings of love held me so tender
I know my life will get better 
I found you Lord … praying for feathers
