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

CHORUS
I can’t stay here forever
On this ledge praying for feathers  
So I can fly away to someplace better
I’m praying for feathers

She’s done the diet pills, she’s tried ‘em 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 she knows so well

REPEAT CHORUS

Bridge 
Wind sweeps across her face
The note lifts from her hand 
She feels the presence of a soft embrace
The words drift down and land

Key change
Chorus II
I can’t stay here forever
On this ledge praying for feathers
So I can fly away to someplace better
I’m praying for feathers

I’ve been changed here and forever
Praying for feathers
