Church of Paper Slips

V6

[Verse — symphonic prog] I built a church of paper slips Of candy wraps and borrowed lips Each little purchase, every touch A prayer that I could be enough [Pre-Chorus] I light a candle, make a vow Tomorrow I will figure out [Chorus — grand harmonies] Hallelujah, one more time Little pleasures, holy lies For one brief moment I belong Inside a world where nothing's wrong I wish the feeling wouldn't leave The moment I begin to breathe (Amen, amen) [Bridge — half-time] I want to worship something real A peace I don't have to conceal [Final Chorus — soaring] Hallelujah, here I stand With empty pockets, open hands The stained glass falls, the light comes through I'm still not sure what I should do [Outro] I gather pieces from the floor And wonder what I'm praying for
