Prayers (for Japan) original song by Nelson Babin-Coy

I was moved to write a song for the recent tragedy in Northern Japan after reading uplifting tweets from all around Japan... All I've got is music, so I decided to put this together.

This is the English version of the Japanese original.
For the Japanese version go here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knHqvK_cl-0


Spread it along if you enjoy it.

Prayers (for Japan)
Words & Music by Nelson Babin-Coy

The stars tonight seem more beautiful than before
More than anything I've ever known
If the road looks too painful to move ahead
Just look up at the sky

As the fear and uncertainty grow inside
A simple act of kindness is what truly warms the heart
It's times like these I realize how much I love this place
It's times like these I'm glad to be a part of the human race

I pray this song reaches their ears
Please let our prayers reach their hearts

Faces of people I never looked to before
Kindness around me I never stopped to feel
A beautiful night sky I've never seen before
So look up to the stars you'll see the prayers from across the sea

Quietly I began to walk home all alone, thinking I couldn't be any help to anyone
But then I opened my eyes and saw the people around doing whatever they could

I pray this song reaches their ears
Please let our prayers reach their hearts

Feelings I never opened up before
Love I never realized fills up my world
This world that I've never seen before
I look up to the stars and I see the dreams
Of faces I never looked to before
Kindness around me I never stopped to feel
A beautiful night sky I've never seen before
So close your eyes and pray...

Your song brought flowing tears to me eyes. I saw images I have never seen yet. I cannot imagine what the people are going through. Thank You. and I know billions are lifting up Japan and her people right now. People of all the worlds faiths see themselves in the shocked eyes of the Japanese and cry.
