Hi there. I am currently studying a Master of Environment, and for one of my classes, I got to do a creative project. I hope you enjoy these four songs, which when listened to together, I hope, paint a story of growth and change from hard places. This world is beautiful and so worth loving.

Thank you, Amelia Adler, for writing and singing this with me. 

Lyrics: 
I  thought you were a ray through clouds
I thought that sunshine sought me out
I thought we were a word in song
I thought but I knew not

I thought we were a prayer to god
I thought that god was
praying to be close to us
I thought but I knew not 

I thought that I would trust myself
And trust my gut and freeze 
And please, you'd make it easy
Please, you'd be so easy

I thought I’d move you up and shake you down 
I thought you’d turn around 
And I would make you easy,
I’d just make you easy 

I'd take it back now if I could
I'd take the things I said to you
You don't surprise me 
You don’t surprise me 

I'd take it back now if I could
I'd take the things I said to you
You don't surprise me 
You don’t surprise me 

Thought we’d sit there on your couch 
And shake it out, we’d shake it out 
I thought we’d be a happy song 
I thought but I knew not 

I thought that god was real when I was young 
That god was watching us
But I got old, don’t pray no more and things they are not easy 

I'd take it back now if I could
I'd take the things I said to you
You don't surprise me 
You don’t surprise me 

I'd take it back now if I could
I'd take the things I said to you
You don't surprise me 
You don’t surprise me 

Moving through the motions
Changing all the time
Following the tide 
Away from you 

Moving through the motions
Changing all the time
Going to keep my mind 
Away from you

I'd take it back now if I could
I'd take the things I said to you
You don't surprise me 
You don’t surprise me 
I'd take it back now if I could
I'd take the things I said to you
You don't surprise me 
You don’t surprise me 

I'd take it back now if I could
I'd take the things I said to you
You don't surprise me 
You don’t surprise me

Empty Prayers
