When I Say Amen

I say it broken when the whole world is hurting
 I say it hoping, it's just what I need
 I say it believing when my heart is bleeding
 That my words break the ceiling when I say amen
 At the end of a prayer
 Running out on the edge
 On fire like a sunset
 I lift my hands
 To first love, shooting stars
 Burning candles in the dark
 Every step, every breath
 That's when I say amen
 I say it loud with I do's at a wedding
 Back of the bleachers at a cold homecoming game
 Sing it out lonely here on the highway
 When life won't go my way, I say it again
 At the end of a prayer
 Running out on the edge
 On fire like a sunset
 I lift my hands
 To first love, shooting stars
 Burning candles in the dark
 Oh, every step, every breath
 That's when I say amen
 Amen and amen and amen
 I say it quiet when faith is a whisper
 And I hear it echo like a heavenly choir
 At the end of a prayer
 Running out on the edge
 On fire like a sunset
 I lift my hands
 To first love, shooting stars
 Burning candles in the dark
 Every step, every breath
 That's when I say amen
 That's when I say amen
 Amen, amen
