Sweat Becomes Prayer

Intro

Salt runs down before the word does

Verse

Heat climbs slow from ankle to spine

Skin gives water, skin gives sign

Every drop falls like it's owed

Back to the drum, back to the floor

Pre-Chorus

Hands can't hold what the body's pouring

Chest keeps opening, keeps on offering

Nothing left that's only mine now

Nothing left to keep

Chorus

Sweat becomes prayer

Sweat becomes prayer

Salt on the air, salt on the altar

Sweat becomes prayer

Verse

Shirt stuck close like second skin

Shoulders shine where the light gets in

Every breath is a small surrender

Every step lets something in

Pre-Chorus

Hands can't hold what the body's pouring

Chest keeps opening, keeps on offering

Nothing left that's only mine now

Nothing left to keep

Chorus

Sweat becomes prayer

Sweat becomes prayer

Salt on the air, salt on the altar

Sweat becomes prayer

Bridge

Not a tear, not a wound, just water

Given back to the ground, to the sound

Every pulse is a small libation

Poured out slow, poured out now

Chorus

Sweat becomes prayer

Sweat becomes prayer

Salt on the air, salt on the altar

Sweat becomes prayer

Outro

Salt on the floor

Nothing left to hold

Sweat becomes prayer
