Katie's prayer: Kirk Franklin's "Why"

And when the song is over
We've all said
Amen
In your heart just keep on singing
And the song will never end

I have this habit of not ending the singing once Mass is over. As I’m walking out the door to my car, I continue singing. Usually the ending song. Sometimes, I get people giving me these looks. I can almost hear them saying, “The song is over. It’s time to go on with our lives. Stop being all crazy and stop the singing.” Sometimes, I let the looks get to me. I get quieter and quieter with my singing - sometimes not even singing at all. But after listening to the above lyrics, I feel like things should be the opposite. I should be the one looking at them saying, “The song has just begun people! Stop being all crazy and let’s continue to sing!”
