I Pray - Ky-Mani Marley

Mmmmhmmmmm… whoaooo…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, pray, yah pray

Lord, pray, yah pray

Lord, pray, yah pray… Mmmmmhmmmm

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 Lord, Shine On Me Lord

Shine On Me Lord, Shine On Me Lord

Shine On Me Lord, Shine On Me Lord

Shine On Me Lord, Shine On Me Lord

Shine On Me Lord, Shine On Me Lord?
