Prayer (from the Latin precari "to ask earnestly, beg, entreat") is an invocation or act that seeks to activate a rapport with an object of worship through deliberate communication.
Prayer can be a form of religious practice, may be either individual or communal and take place in public or in private. It may involve the use of words, song or complete silence. When language is used, prayer may take the form of a hymn, incantation, formal creedal statement, or a spontaneous utterance in the praying person. There are different forms of prayer such as petitionary prayer, prayers of supplication, thanksgiving, and praise. Prayer may be directed towards a deity, spirit, deceased person, or lofty idea, for the purpose of worshipping, requesting guidance, requesting assistance, confessing transgressions (sins) or to express one's thoughts and emotions. Thus, people pray for many reasons such as personal benefit, asking for divine grace, spiritual connection, or for the sake of others.
Some anthropologists believe that the earliest intelligent modern humans practiced a form of prayer. Today, most major religions involve prayer in one way or another; some ritualize the act of prayer, requiring a strict sequence of actions or placing a restriction on who is permitted to pray, while others teach that prayer may be practiced spontaneously by anyone at any time.
Please come heal my soul
you can dry my tears
Please come kiss my soul
you can dry my tears...
You could say that there is no charity
When the people keep on talking 'bout salvation
Don't be a slave in your sanctuary
Freedom comes when you learn to let go...
You could say that there is no answer
When the people keep on asking for deliverance
Don't be a slave in your sanctuary
Freedom comes when you learn to let go...!

And for the bless, got a give
Greed and hatred
Take my hand, touch my soul
Guide my way home
One goes out one comes in
You can dry my tears
please come kiss my soul
you can dry my...
