lyrics

DIDN’T I PRAY 3:45

By Erick Hovey

I was born, Then I died
Life went on, Dead inside

Saw my life through the eyes of another
Half dead of a sister and brother
Didn’t I pray, Didn’t I pray

Did someone lie, Didn’t I try
I didn’t say. say good-bye
brought back to life, Cuts like a knife

Cross my fingers, Cross my heart
Hope to die, Hope to fly

Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray the Lord my soul to keep
Didn’t I pray, Didn’t I pray

Shake the ashes, shake the mind
Waste yourself, waste some time
Ambition springs, can’t learn to die

Cross my fingers, Cross my heart
Hope to die, Hope to fly

Can thought know bounds, I don’t know why
Can I go back, and touch the sky
Didn’t I pray, Didn’t I pray

about

Erick Hovey and Friends Fort Dodge, Iowa

Erick Hovey's music is peppered with seasonings of blues, roots rock, jazz, funk, old power trio rock, reggae, and newer folk fusion styles. His lyrical content has not only good humored nods towards classic blues and rock clichés’, but spans the afterlife, and existentialism as well. Sometimes it’s spooky, sometimes it’s raw, spiritual, and sensual. Think Mark Knopfler, JJ Cale, and Peter Green. ... more
