I stand before you
I leave everything behind
I face you
Afraid to appear blind
I praise you
I praise your creation
I see its value
I bow down without option
I rise again
I rise to tell you
I'm only a madman
Here to serve you
And when I prostrate
All my sins fall off my back
And I can't sit straight
Because I backtrack
My forehead meets the ground
I praise you
And I am no longer drowned
In a black hue
I sit on the prayer rug
I pray to you
Because prayer is my drug
And only one to answer is you.
And my tears fall
As I realize once again
Without you I stall
But you don't abandon me then.
I leave the prayer rug
Unfolded, inviting.
