As the title suggests, "Prayer in C" has a religious theme. It is addressed to God, telling him about all the sufferings that go on the world, such as [[war]], [[world hunger]] and [[climate change]]. The singer sends a message to God for not speaking to her personally and giving an explanation for why these tragedies occur. The song has no chorus and each third line is "Don't think I/they/you could forgive you", which tells God that human beings will always be angry at him for not preventing all the pain and misery. |

"Prayer in C" is a song by French folk pop duo Lilly Wood and the Prick, originally released on their album Invincible Friends in 2010.
In 2014, German DJ and record producer Robin Schulz remixed the song, and the remix was re-released in June 2014. He used a CD of Invincible Friends as the source, and initially made his remix available as a free download, to the consternation of the copyright owners, Wagram Music.[1]
The Schulz remix topped the charts in Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Luxembourg, France, the Netherlands, Belgium (both the Dutch-speaking Flanders and French-speaking Wallonia regions), Greece, Italy, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Denmark, Finland, Mexico, Norway, Sweden, Romania, Portugal, Spain, the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom. It also reached the top 10 in Australia and New Zealand and charted in the top 40 in Canada and United States. In September 2014, Kiesza covered the song on BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge.[2][3]
