In the submarines and the tanks, in the S&L’s and banks,
in the cancer wards, the prisons and the bars.
On the earth and on the moon, in the closet in your room,
in the flophouses, the think tanks and the farms.
To the salesman forever trying to sell.
To the faithful daughter walking to the well.
Pray where you are, pray where you are.
In the fields and in the factories, there’s no limits, rules or boundaries.
At work or school or driving in your car, pray where you are.
In the strip joints and the church, on a desperate lost child search,
on the airplanes and the back roads and the rails.
On the black-tops and the beach, down the sewer and up the creek,
in the penthouse and the pool halls and the jails.
To the criminal with no one left to con.
To the movie star whose day has come and gone.
Pray where you are, pray where you are.
In the fields and in the factories, there’s no limits, rules or boundaries.
At work or school or driving in your car, pray where you are.
To the junkie with his back against the wall.
To the lawman who breaks another law.
In the desert, by the shore, in a peacetime, in a war.
In the pentagon, the courtrooms and the malls.
In the tents and in the caves, at the truck stops, by the graves.
In our hopes and fears and struggles great and small.
To the corner prophet no one seems to hear,
to the President who prays for four more years.
Pray where you are, pray where you are.
In the fields and in the factories, there’s no limits, rules or boundaries.
At work or school or driving in your car, pray where you are.

Since June of 2000, Aimee and Joel have been making music together. Their first CD was completed in 2003. Recorded at a farm
house in Wisconsin, it is a caffeinated, folk-rock blend of songs that have shown their durability as the duo traveled with them over 500,000 miles of highways. With a new home in Minneapolis, Tangled Blue recorded "Advent" in 2008 and will finish a third project this year....more
