[00:00.000]Where I Like It Best - Rickie Lee Jones
[00:24.293]I wanted to pray
[00:30.107]I wanted to let you go on your way
[00:35.829]I wanted to know why they laid there
[00:41.723]Dying in the streets
[00:44.703]Next to the restaurant
[00:46.564]Where people were eating
[00:51.954]Yes I wanted to pray
[01:08.791]How do you pray in a world like this
[01:15.726]You know I see the people on tv
[01:18.866]And they close their eyes and they bow their heads
[01:21.911]And they say
[01:24.452]Let us pray
[01:28.733]Feels so cold and meaningless
[01:32.271]And I wanted to pray and I said
[01:35.871]Tell me father
[01:39.446]Tell me mother
[01:43.141]Heavenly mother
[01:48.090]And they said
[01:56.072]When you pray pray alone by yourself
[02:01.748]In the secret room of your heart
[02:07.358]Don't go out into the church filled with people and pray
[02:13.248]God hears every secret that you say
[02:21.223]See all those people praying on tv and in the churches
[02:26.806]They like to make a big parade out of what they're doing
[02:32.883]They think God hears them louder if they say it
[02:37.457]Over and over and over and over and over again
[02:41.920]That say
[02:45.530]God
[02:52.144]But I say this
[02:56.493]You are the prayer
[03:00.698]Your eyes are the prayer
[03:04.811]Your hand on your cheek
[03:08.805]You are the prayer
[03:13.093]Those words you want to speak they are the prayer
[03:21.269]That dance you make when you're by yourself
[03:27.575]Just before your mother calls you on the phone
[03:31.924]You are the prayer
[03:35.284]I tell you what you gotta take it back from them
[03:38.190]Because the prayers belong to you
[03:43.305]All you gotta do is say hey hey
[03:48.585]I'm down here too I'm down here too I'm down here too
[03:57.768]And I hear you Jesus
[04:00.936]I hear you
[04:03.743]And I'm near you
[04:05.921]Wonder why there's so much suffering
[04:13.931]I want to say thank you thank you
[04:16.662]Thank you thank you thank you thank you
[04:19.623]I wanted to say thank you thank you
[04:21.932]I wanted to save
[04:24.375]I wanted to save
[04:33.723]You are where I like it best
[04:42.858]You are where I like it best
[04:49.172]You are where I like it best
[04:58.299]That's the Lords' prayer
[05:01.069]You are where
[05:04.507]I wanna be
[05:07.281]So
[05:10.155]Amen
[05:12.075]Just amen
[05:14.061]Amen all by myself amen just amen
[05:20.471]I'm so lonely just amen
[05:24.247]And I'm rising rising just amen
[05:31.793]You can look through my eyes
[05:35.788]Hears through my heart
[05:39.019]Look through my eyes
