Surfboard - Dave Hause

I’ve been finding myself praying

Have you seen the shape I’m in?

I’ve been cleaning up my act after a weekend’s worth of sin

This past year I got let go and then the rent got hard to pay

So I’m finding myself kneeling down to pray

I keep them clear and small

Little prayers that won’t hurt at all

Clear and small

Whispered words float through the walls

Like Dear Lord

I need a surfboard

Cause I can’t figure out how to not drown in these waves

Dear Lord

I saw your billboard

About hell and fire and how I need to be saved

So I’m praying straight away

I’ve been finding myself praying, have you seen the shape we’re in?

I know you haven’t seen us lately on Sunday mornings we’re sleeping in

Fried from treading water in this pool you threw us in

Waiting for a lesson on how to swim

I keep them clear and small

Little prayers that won’t hurt at all

Clear and small

Whispered words float through the walls

Like Dear Lord

I need a surfboard

Cause I can’t figure out how to not drown in these waves

Dear Lord

I saw your billboard

About hell and fire and now I need to be saved

So I’m praying straight away

Dear Lord

Could you send out that surfboard

And maybe a couple hundred grand so we could stay

Dear Lord

If you strike down my landlord

I’ll be there every week and not just Christmas Day

Kneeling down to pray…
