[Verse]
My prayer is to be better
And to live a life of love
An honest human being
Whose light heart can soar with the doves
It's hard to keep your head up
When life's smoke obscures your gaze
My prayer's to see the beauty
Even in that smoke's dark haze

[Chorus]
And when I feel worthy to receive
The Universe opens up to me
I'm a wide-open vessel, true love expressing
I'll never live a day in vain
(2X)

[Verse]
Holy is my mother
She anoints my head with soil
I walk upon her bounty
As the world's rolls shall uncoil
Precious be my father
I stand warm in his ray
His sonnet is the sunrise
His gift to us is day

[Chorus]
And when I feel worthy to receive
The Universe opens up to me
I'm a wide-open vessel, true love expressing
I'll never live a day in vain
(2X)

[Verse]
Feeling bad is natural
To know the sun, you must know rain
Just don't let it infect you
Wash it out before it stains
There's so much to support you
The water, earth, and air
This life is such a privilege
Give thanks because it's there

[Chorus]
And when we feel worthy to receive
The Universe opens up for we
I'm a wide-open vessel, true love expressing
I'll never live a day in vain
And when we feel worthy to receive
The Universe opens up for we, yeah
. . . day in vain
