I Pray

(album: Radio - 2007)

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
