She's slipping through the loopholes in my prayers Defying all attempts to wish her well The world at large so little knows or cares How many languish in a private hell
She's slipping through the system; what there is And loopholes of what care there ought to be She's teetering before a precipice The endless chasm of the wait-and-see
A prayer is but an exertion of will Sent drifting in the bright dome of the sky Each one of many; some unanswered still Some high priority, some drift on by.
She's slipping through the loopholes in our prayers, Fading the hopes of everyone who cares.
