I Don’t Wanna Pray Songtext
von Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros

I love my God, God made love
I love my God, God made love
I love my God, God made hate
I love my God, God made hate
I love my God, God made good
I love my God, God made good
I love my God, God made bad
I love my God, God made me, yeah

But I don′t want to pray to my maker
I just want to be what I see
Not just who I am but the pink and golden land
And that wide wild sky over me
Help me to the sun, hey I'm looking everywhere
See, I′m looking to become not the prayer but the prayer
And now I don't want to pray, no
Yeah, say I don't want to pray, no
And now I don′t want to pray
I don′t want to pray


I love my God, God made love
I love my God, God made love
I love my God, God made good
I love my God, God made hate
I love my God, God made bad
I love my God, God made, God made

But I don't want to pray to my maker. no
I just want to be feeling free
Not like in a book or the leaves and trees that shook
For a word that means only not a thing
Pardon God and mom, what I′m sayin' isn′t fair
See, I'm looking to become not the prayer but the prayer
And now I don′t want to pray, no
I say I don't want to pray, no
Hey, ah, I don't want to pray, no
Who don′t want to pray?

Not much good to talk, better to walk it
Not much good to take, better to give
We are born forgiven and forgotten our sins
Yeah, I promise you, my friends
All that dies will live again


Pardon God and mom, what I′m saying isn't fair
See, I′m looking to become not the prayer but the prayer
And now I don't want to pray, no
Yeah, say I don′t want to pray, no
Oh, now I don't want to pray, no
Who don′t want to pray?

I love my God, God made love
I love my God, God made love
I love my God, God made hate
I love my God, God made hate
I love my God, God made good
I love my God, God made good
I love my God, God made bad
I love my God, God made me
