I Pray - Ky-Mani Marley

...

"I Pray" Whoa...sinner man Dear Lord, I hang my head because I'm feeling low Is there a peaceful place for me to go? I can just be free of my pressures and just release my pains Sip honey, burn buds and sing in the rain It's been times I needed a shoulder But someone told me men don't cry So I shared my joys and never showed my pains Feeling trapped in the parallels of this crazy world I try to make better for my boys and my girls And on my quest for a change, I turned to prayers Lord got me on this life I lead Father I thank you for the breath I breathe And I know that when it all boils down and friends like foes turn their backs You'll be there for me in my times of need Let us pray... Lord please had mercy, lets your glory shine on me Lord please had mercy, lets your glory shine on me And many search for change while many walk the chalk lines of danger I've seen love in the eyes of a perfect stranger Leaves me to wonder when will this all come to an end? Will there ever be a day when men stop fighting against men? Wooo Tails hit the dirt to signify pressure and pain Same place a tree grows then that's a sign of change Everlasting love is up for the taking So if you ain't doing it for yourself, do it for the children's sake Lord please had mercy, lets your glory shine on me Lord please had mercy, lets your glory shine on me Whoa sinner man, where you gonna run to? You deceiving the people while stealing their hope Ambushed by the system, with a knife to our throat If breached, we're in danger for the words that we speak Lord, please save me the devil is trying to take my soul Lead my cause, oh Lord, to be coming home I'm in the dark, lead me to the light, oh Lord Be my shield, lead me through the fight, oh Lord, I pray, yah pray Lord, I pray, yah pray Lord, I pray, yah pray When the going get rough, you don't give up When the dirty get tough, you don't give up When it seems there no way out, you don't give up And you feel you've lost your root, you don't give up And though life's been hard, you don't give up And it's still hard right now, you don't give up Just you understand friend, you don't give up You keep fighting back to the end, you don't give up Lord please had mercy, lets your glory shine on me Lord please had mercy, lets your glory shine on me Lord please had mercy, lets your glory shine on me Lord please had mercy, lets your glory shine on me Shine on me, shine on me Lord Shine on me, shine on me Lord Shine on me, shine on me
