Pray 4 Kaya

(album: The Signature LP - 2008)

As far as girls go she was my best friend, I go to pick her up but she ain't dressed yet.
I told her that I've cancelled so she ain't prepped yet.
Just so I could surprise you,
Never forget get.
Three days before it happened, we're in the West End.
We're bout to catch a movie, after we just eat.
See we would talk for hours, it's like we just met.
We had a thing before, but now we're just friends.
I told her everything,
She showed me everything,
She told me anything,
I would give anything.
Just to see her smile at me, or just to see her smile at least,
Wake up from her sleep and I expect to see her whine at me.
Because I wasn't there, to tell her not to go into that car that day,
And end up on the road, where that car would crash, but she never lost her soul.
She's in a coma hanging on but she don't wanna go, cause she's a star out here, and yeah she's on a role.
Everybody's praying for her, she ain't on her own.
I just wish that I coulda called her on the phone that day and caused her not to go that day,
And I just wanna know why god would make them, when he knew that he would take 'em young.
Four girls, one died on the scene, her name was patience.
And the rest of them were patient, had everybody pacing up and down the hospital hallways, praying and saying god don't you take them please.

I don't wanna leave, but they won't let me stay.
I wish I had the powers, to take the pain away.
Wipe away the tears, and take the rain away.
Wanna be together forever so I get down and pray.
I don't wanna leave, but they won't let me stay.
I wish I had the powers, to take the pain away.
Wipe away the tears, and take the rain away.
Wanna be together forever so I get down and pray.

The next day, a second girl passes away and her face is pasted all over the myspaces to make it worse.
I didn't know her, but I know her name was D-Crystal.
I know your family miss you, and I can't say the words
To describe this whole scenario, how to say it hurts, is an understatement.
Yeah I'm trying to pray but will the prayers work.
Because we prayed for puff, but god still took him.
But I'm a keep on praying, cause gods still looking.

And Kaya's still sleeping, I wanna wake her up.
But gods still peeping he wants to take her up.
One of the few girls I know that really ain't corrupt,
She called her self the queen of clubs, I call her the queen of hearts.
Tryna reassure her friends, but deep inside my heart would brace.
Don't wanna ask her sister questions or look into her fathers face.
Because I knew there could be news that would be hard to take.
After days of hanging on, sadly Kaya past away.

I don't wanna leave, but they won't let me stay.
I wish I had the powers, to take the pain away.
Wipe away the tears, and take the rain away.
Wanna be together forever so I get down and pray.
I don't wanna leave, but they won't let me stay.
I wish I had the powers, to take the pain away.
Wipe away the tears, and take the rain away.
Wanna be together forever so I get down and pray.

If you got a bit of fire in you, listen.
That means you've got a bit of Kaya in you.
You need to use it to search for something for something higher in you.
And you need to realise there's something higher then you.
If you aim for the stars, they'll start admiring you.
And life's to short to live without the fighter in you.
Prayer moves mountains, so hold up your hands.
Prayer can change your life, but not gods plans.

So I don't wanna leave, but they won't let me stay.
I wish I had the powers, to take the pain away.
Wipe away the tears, and take the rain away.
Wanna be together forever so I get down and pray.

Cause I don't wanna leave, but they won't let me stay.
I really wanna breath but any day could be the day.
When it's your time to go, it's your time to go.
So live your life like you know,
Get on your knees and pray.
