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
