Can we touch the soul of heaven
Can we unite a sacred lesson
Every child creates a skylight of beauty
Can you hear cathedrals falling
All the universe is calling
Cry a single cello from your heart
Since the world has lost her way
Loneliness journey endlessly
Yet the promised chance remains
Gifts of what could be
So let the children remember the sun
Let them dance let them soar
For their lives have begun
Let the children engender the rain
As the river runs through fields
Forever subsiding their pain
Prayer
Every voice along the shoreline
Standing still within time
Spinning unresolved the walking
As each season passes
Through wonderland and looking glasses
The secret garden shires beckon's you
Gentle flower, don't fade away
Sweet innocence they're harvesting
In the faith of golden dreams
Where one love lives eternally
Let the children remember the sun
Let them dance let them soar
For their lives have begun
Let the children engender the rain
As the river runs through fields
Forever subsiding their pain
Prayer
Prayer
Prayer
Let the children bring the light
They are the truth of spirit in flight
Yes the children engender the rain
As the river runs through life
Healing their pain
You can trust with your heart but for time
Sweet angels, conceive you have
Forever and always believed Prayer
Prayer
Prayer
Prayer
I come to you hungry and tired
you give food, you let me sleep
I come to you weak
you give strength and that's deep
you called me a sheep
and lead me to green pastures
only asking that I keep the focus
in between the chapters
You give me the word and only ask that I interpret
And give me the eyes that I may recognize the serpent
You know I ain't perfect, but you'd like me to try
Unlike the devil who just wants me to lie untill I die
Lord why is it that, I go through so much pain
All I saw was black, all I felt was rain
I come to you because it's you who knows
You showed me that everything was black
Because me eyes were closed
You give me the light and let me bask in your glory
So it was only right that when you asked for this story
I put it together to do our dogs some good
Our dogs being brothers and sisters in the hood
Plenty of times you sent help my way but I hid
I remember once you held me close but I slid
There was something that I just had to see
That you wanted me to see so I can be what you wanted me to be
And I think I've seen it, I don't feel the same
Matter of fact I know I have seen it I can feel the change
it's strange almost got me beating down your door
But I have never known love like this before
It's a wonderful feeling to get away from the pain
And up under the ceiling I get away from the rain
And the strain that I feel when I'm here is gone
I know real so I wipe away the tear it's on
And I almost lost faith when you took my fam
Monty passed over and Jay's brother Dan
And I fear that what I saying won't be heard until I'm gone
But it's all good, Cause I didn't expect to live long
So if it takes for me to suffer for me brother to see the light
Words and music by Bob Hartman and John Elefante
Based on 1 Thessalonians 5:17-18, Ephesians 6:18-19, Matthew 6:9-13
First I want to thank You Lord for being who You are
For coming to the rescue of a man who's drifted far
For calling me to be Your son and calling me to serve
Lord the way You've blessed my life is more than I deserve
Keep the ones I love so dearly
Fill their emptiness while I am gone
And fill the loneliness in me
(Chorus)
This is my prayer
Lifted to You
Knowing You care even more than I do
This is my prayer
Lifted in Your name
Your will be done I humbly pray
Let me be the evidence of what Your grace can do
To a generations struggling to find themselves in You
May they come to know the love of God
May their eyes be made to see
Give me the opportunity to share the truth that sets them free
And may unity in all things
Be the banner of Your church
And let revival's fire begin to burn
As we face the last and final hours
Turn a wayward country back to You
And keep us from the evil that devours
Keep us on the path and lead us through
Keep us in Your light until Your kingdom comes
And our work is done
This is my prayer
Lifted to You
Knowing You care so much more than I do
This is my prayer
In Jesus' name
Your will be done I humbly pray
This is my prayer
In my perfect world
There's no need to right the wronged
Laid down my burden
I know I did not carry the weight
Not sure to who responsibility belonged
I turned a blind eye while waiting for the hand of fate
To still the waters, heal all the broken hearts
And hope it could be done without a sacrifice
And maybe I just wouldn't pay the price
I've fought this long enough
Now I send the prayer to heaven for the chance to be
A better man than the man I see
I send the prayer to heaven, lay your hands on me
I ain't a saint but to this I swear, I send the prayer
And now I feel, all I can do is not enough
My Rome is burning and I'm standing at the deep abyss
But every passion started with an act of love
And every act of love started with a single kiss
Father, father, your gift was my world of light
And I've betrayed you with a single Judas kiss
I've been my own executioner
But it's not just me anymore
Now I send the prayer to heaven for the chance to be
A better man than the man I see
I send the prayer to heaven, lay your hands on me
I ain't a saint but to this I swear
Burn my wasted pride
Open your heart to this
There's a voice that's crying somewhere
Deep inside my soul for shelter
Now I send the prayer to heaven for the chance to be
A better man than the man I see
I send the prayer to heaven, lay your hands on me
I ain't a saint but to this I swear
Now I send the prayer to heaven for the chance to be
A better man than the man I see
I send the prayer to heaven, lay your hands on me
I ain't a saint but to this I swear
Now I send the prayer to heaven
I send the prayer to heaven
"Psalm 27, Lord is my light and my salvation"
Whom I shall fear? 'Cuz I have sinned
The Lord is the strength of my life
Whom shall I be afraid?
And before I wrap up this 'Port Of Miami'
There's a lot of my brothers and sisters
They stumble and fell
That wasn't here to watch this come to pass
Since I can't do shit else, I'ma say a prayer
This was 12 years in the makin', no side deals wit Satan
I'm dealin' wit the Maker, straight up
A lot of homies ask, what's a prayer?
A prayer is what kept me focused 12 years
A prayer is what saved me, I should have been indited
Now my kids know Jay-Z
A prayer is what kept me here when them bullets cut the air
I fell and I just said a prayer
A prayer is like medicine
It will heal wounds, ask Bush Veterans
Big holes in a nigga's side
Snub nose, 45, homeboy, just close your eyes
Put your hands together, bow your head
1, keep me alive, 2, keep me out the Feds
3, gotta bless the kids, 4, one for the fam'
5, for the dividends, dear Lord, here I am
So I repent my sins, forgive me
1, the grapes on the plate, 2, the tags on their feet
3, the nights Mama cried, 4, I'm thuggin' wit the fam'
5, for the dividends, dear Lord, here I am
I swear to God, I've done some things in the past
If I could, please Lord, I'll help you bring 'em back
I feel pain, man 'cuz I can't speak on it
That's why I get so many songs, I can't sleep homie
Tattoos for forgiveness
I might not get it but forgive me
I'm here and I'm fightin' like a motherfucker
Triple C excited like a motherfucker
Say a prayer, put the weed in the air
Thank God once again for makin' me a millionaire
I thank God for makin' me a millionaire
Put your hands together, bow your head
1, keep me alive, 2, keep me out the Feds
3, gotta bless the kids, 4, one for the fam'
5, for the dividends, dear Lord, here I am
So I repent my sins, forgive me
1, the grapes on the plate, 2, the tags on their feet
3, the nights Mama cried, 4, I'm thuggin' wit the fam'
5, for the dividends, dear Lord, here I am
I used to get stacks off the hoe zone
Now I'm back to back covers for the ozone
[Incomprehensible] the magazine, Billboard goin' strong
Rollin' in a Phantom wit mother mother Rolling Stones
You stuck wit me through thick and thin
Sittin' back, got your mama sittin' in a Benz
Make you damn near wanna cry
Low '95, stack money like homicide
Bloodshed after midnight
It's just me and this weed tryin' to get right
It's bloodshed after midnight
It's just Ross and his kush tryin' to get right
Put your hands together, bow your head
1, keep me alive, 2, keep me out the Feds
3, gotta bless the kids, 4, one for the fam'
5, for the dividends, dear Lord, here I am
So I repent my sins, forgive me
1, the grapes on the plate, 2, the tags on their feet
3, the nights Mama cried, 4, I'm thuggin' wit the fam'
5, for the dividends, dear Lord, here I am
A yo,a yo
Theres a pray for every real nigga in the country
When you wake up man,and shit feels like it's to hard to bare
Just repeat this prayer
I belive that jesus is the son of god,that he died and rose
Again to give us this day to eternal life
Throw it up and every thing gonna be alright
I remember praying with you, yeah yeah
I remember praying with you
Feeling alone and I'm by myself
I can't find no help
Thinking of you it drives me crazy
I got a feeling of lazy, yeah
So much frustration built inside of me
It's killing me, oh
What am I to do? I can't lose you
Who do you pray to?
Who do you pray to?
Who do you pray to?
This is my prayer for you all
This is my prayer for you all
I stand all alone looking at my shoes
And making me think of you
Like my daddy said, "Boy be brave
Don't let them take you, no"
What can I do? I think I'm losing you
This is my prayer for you all
This is my prayer for you all
This is my prayer for you all
This is my prayer for you all, hey yeah
It's all I need, all I want
(This is my prayer for you all)
I remember praying with you, yeah, yeah
I remember praying with you, oh, yeah
Oh you left me, you're gone, you're gone, you're gone
Another dream that will never come true
Just to compliment your sorrow
Another life that I've taken from you
A gift to add on to your pain and suffering
Another truth you can never believe
Has crippled you completely
All the cries you're beginning to hear
Trapped in your mind and the sound is deafening
Let me enlighten you
This is the way I pray
Living just isn't hard enough
Burn me alive inside
Living my life's not hard enough
Take everything away
Another nightmare about to come true
Will manifest tomorrow
Another love that I've taken from you
Lost in time on the edge of suffering
Another taste of the evil I breed
Will level you completely
Bring to life everything that you fear
Live in the dark and the world is threatening
Let me enlighten you
This is the way I pray
Living just isn't hard enough
Burn me alive inside
Living my life's not hard enough
Take everything away
Return to me
Return to me
Return to me
Turn to me
Leave me no one
Turn to me
Return to me
Return to me
Turn to me
Cast aside
Return to me
Return to me
Return to me
Turn to me
Leave me no one
Turn to me
Return to me
Return to me
You've made me turn away
Living just isn't hard enough
Burn me alive inside
Living my life's not hard enough
They take everything from you
Living just isn't hard enough
Burn me alive, inside
Living my life's not hard enough
Take everything away
Nothing is impossible
Nothing's out of reach
All good things will come to those
Who faithfully believe
When you see a mountain
Standing is your way
Known that it will move for you
If only you will pray
'Cause prayer can move a mountain
Prayer can stop the doubt
And prayer can calm the raging heart of unbelief
For I know when I go on my knees
God will move for me
And prove what He can do
Through prayer
Somewhere there's a miracle
Waiting 'round the bend
How He's blessed you in the past
He'll do it once again
You're not forgotten
Or been turned away
The Lord's about to move for you
If only you will pray
I know that He won't leave me all alone
The Lord has kept me safe till now
He'll show me when
He'll show me how
And I know that I can't make it on my own
But with the power of God in me
There's nothing great that I can't be
No mountain high, no valley low
Will change my mind 'cause this I know
Move, move, right now
Hazel O`Connor - Gerard Kiely
O lord can you hear me
I have fallen hard on this road
I have overspent my strength,
Put my faith in all the wrong places
O lord could you lend me a hand
O lord would you lend me a hand?
And maybe steer me through
So I can find my way back to you
and help me lose my prejudice
and maybe I can learn to forgive
I am such a foolish one
I forgot to call on you so long
I got caught up, I got bought up
by illusion of this material world
O lord could you give this girl a hand
O lord could you give me your hand?
And maybe steer me through
So I can find my way back to you
and help me lose my prejudice
and maybe I can learn to forgive
O lord would you lend me a hand?
O lord would you lend me a hand?
O lord would you lend me a hand?
O lord would you lend me a hand?
O lord would you lend me a hand?
Would you please help me, Would you please help me
Would you please help me, Would you please,
Could you please,
Could you please?
Pray for power
Your main weapon is mistrust
Pray for power
It's for power you lust
Molten minds poured int the mold
Filthy hands burning sin to be sold
The bible says, so we demand to uphold
God's word enforced and controlled
Weathered symbols slowly turn to dust
The harsh reality soon catches us
Death and got at the same place
It doesn't matter to me
I'll lose that race
I don't want to die but I don't care
It's nice to think we'll go somewhere
Pray for power
Let your arms enfold us
Through the dark of night
Will your angels hold us
Till we see the light
Hush, lay down your troubled mind
The day has vanished and left us behind
And the wind - whispering soft lullabies
Will soothe - so close your eyes
Let your arms enfold us
Through the dark of night
Will your angels hold us
Till we see the light
Sleep, angels will watch over you
And soon beautiful dreams will come true
Can you feel spirits embracing your soul
So dream while secrets of darkness unfold
Let your arms enfold us
Through the dark of night
Will your angels hold us
There's a song creation's singing
And it sounds throughout the universe
It's our longing for You, Jesus
It's an anthem telling of Your worth
Praise, when the sun is rising
Praise, when the day is fading
Praise, when the stars are shining
O God, we wait, we wait on You
God, our hearts are yearning for You
Like the watchmen waiting for the dawn
And our eyes are turned towards You
For the day when You return
Until that day we'll sing
God, our hearts are yearning for You
Like the watchmen waiting for the dawn
And our eyes are turned towards You
For the day when You return
All the hatred in the world
Where did it all come from?
That man over there, he's the one to blame
He's the one who did you wrong
And if you should ever point the finger
Raise up the glass to humanity
And the footsteps of innocence so weary
Can rest now at the doorsteps of sanity
All the children in the world
With tears in their eyes
Where did they all come from?
Standing alone in a world which
they don't understand
And the black hearts all melt away
as the night turns to day
And we say we all want our freedom but
all we can do is hope and pray
'cos I don't know what we're going to do
'cos the boy who tried to change the world
Found out that world wasn't ready to change
And we say we've all got the answer but
no-one's ready to agree
'cos I don't know what we're going to do
'cos the boy who tried to change the world
Found out that the world wasn't ready to change
'cos I don't know what we're going to do
'cos the boy who tried to change the world
Ignored her anxious eyes
Zippered his pants
One of his routine lies
Took her hands
I MUST BE OFF
She was the only one
Short before closing
He was the drunken one
Without looking
No time for scuff
Lord you gave us mother nature
that gave us the right to hate you
we found out what we were made from
we set out create a better one
She was not the pretty one
Remained alone
And when her child was born
Stayed on her own
And still in love
She had to rush about
Make their living
There was no time for doubts
For misgiving
Her heart in love
Lord you gave us mother nature
that gave us the right to hate you
we found out what we were made from
we set out create a better one
She had to make a stop
Put down her bag
This day was far too hot
Must have a break
Just a silent moaning
Blow at her fabula
Snatch at the handle
Thanks to you grandma
Off he was
Just a silent groaning
Lord you gave us mother nature
that gave us the right to hate you
we found out what we were made from
we set out create a better one
Her genetic code
Storage room
Just a single note
On her form
Low grade and old
Someone found it there
Took it home
Had a bright idea
One billion clones
With a heart of gold
Lord you gave us mother nature
that gave us the right to hate you
we found out what we were made from
we set out create a better one
Lord you gave us mother nature
that gave us the right to hate you
we found out what we were made from
Prayer
If they hear this in heaven
There's something I must know
Am I on a fool's errand
Or will your love for me grow
Cos all I know is I say
The same thing everyday
Chorus
This is my prayer to you
Nothing but your love will do
And if my prayer comes true
I will be there, I will be there for you
If they hear this in heaven
I hope they tell me it's true
You and me together
Until eternity's through
'Cos all I know is I see
An angel here with me
Repeat chorus
Until the rainbows end
I love you, I love you
And all the stars descend
Forever and back again
All I know is I see
An angel here with me
[Intro: U-God]
Forgive me..
For all that shit I did in my past..
You know what I'm sayin'...
[U-God]
Is anyone out there? Does anyone care?
This is my testament, my bedtime prayer
I resent my sins, oh Lord, listen clear
I can feel it in the heat of the night, and in the air
Lord, give me your ear, I want you, to understand
Please forgive me, I'm a righteous man
Tryin' to do the best I can, just to feed my fam
I might die, in these streets, by some jealous hands
Now I can it's some scam, from the root to the fruit
Cuz when they see me in the streets, grimey's guns salute
Me, it's the moment of truth, I got mud on my boots
Plus the sounds of the sirens, cops in hot pursuit
Pray for me..
[Chorus x2: Autumn Rue]
As I lay thee down to sleep
I pray the Lord, the soul to keep
If I die, before I wake
I pray the Lord, the soul to take
[U-God]
All this pressure, building up in the pot
When the schemes released, I'm bout to blow my top
I'm the cream of the crop, when machine guns pop
I seen the death angel come when I see son drop
I cried, tattoo tear drops, cuz inside it hurt
I saw his life flash before him, as he lied in the dirt
And searched for heaven on earth, in his debts, sold in land
I poisoned my own community, with kilos and grams
And people don't take a stand, politics tempers flare
They build, prisons 'stead of parks, children end up in there
It's the welfare, the precinct, the daycare's, indecent
The churches, the priest, inside the belly of the beast
It's, diseases, crack babies, people actin' crazy
Oh Lord, can you save me? If not, snatch up my baby
Ohhh..
unsafe
unsure and screaming
i turn and face the sun
burning with a beatiful rage
turn away
weave and spin
in the fields of time i? ve lain to crawl the inner plane
weave and spin
awakened crystal pain through and down by a
sent down low scar my soul
wall, it comes in waves free and invisible
break this peace seal the blow
mother crawled away to see the star
this is where i? ve come to bear
feel the calm and flow and the procession
witness to my fate anew
bodies fall away, spirits burn
trapped inside i abide this ordeal
drawn in and praying in waste, sent out and smashing down
i endure this place and this pain
distant sounds pass by etching this tunnel
i go on, igo on
I pray you'll be our eyes
And watch us where we go
And help us to be wise
In times when we don't know
Let this be our prayer
As we go our way
Lead us to a place, guide us with your grace
To a place where we'll be safe
I pray we'll find your light
And hold it in our hearts
When stars go out each night
Remind us where you are
Let this be our prayer
When shadows fill our day
Lead us to a place, guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
We ask that life be kind
And watch us from above
We hope each soul will find
Another soul to love
Let this be our prayer
Just like every child
Needs to find a place, guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
Needs to find a place, guide us with your grace
[Malice]
I'm sayin life is crazy right
Shit is real wild
Like the realest shit ever, you know
Hold up, I'm comin, just let me bless this real quick, hold up
God, I ask that you continue to watch over us
I ask that you continue to bless us in the countless ways that you've done so
I ask that you walk with us on each and every encounter that we face
Cause life, as you know, can be a dirty game
But above all else right now God
I ask that may we not have to lose another one of our own to this game
May not another mother have to bury her son to this game
We've lost too many already
Lord, you know we're anything but heartless
I guess, what I'm saying right now Lord
Is that if these words hurt more than they help
To all those outside the inner side
Let not your heart be heavy
There are those who understand
It is not easy, it is not easy to tell a lie
To all those inside the outer side
Let not your head be heavy
There are those who understand
It is not easy, it is not easy to know what to do
And to all those who understand
Let not your words be heavy
There is He who understands
I pray you'll be our eyes
And watch us where we go
And help us to be wise
In times when we don't know
Let this be our prayer
when we loose our way
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace
To a place where we'll be saved
I pray we'll find your light
And hold it in our hearts
when stars go out each night
Remind us where you are
Let this be our prayer
when shadows fill our day
Ohhh Lord, lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be saved
A world where pain and sorrow will be mended
And every heart that's broken will be mended
And we'll remember we are all Gods children
Reaching out to touch you
Reaching to the sky
We ask that life be kind
And watch us from above
We hope it so we'll find
Another soul to love
Let this be our pray
Just like every child
Needs to find a place
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be saved
Needs to find a place
Guide us with your grace
Let your arms enfold us
Through the dark of night
Will your angels hold us
Till we see the light
Hush, lay down your troubled mind
The day has vanished and left us behind
And the wind, whispering soft lullabies
Will soothe, so close your weary eyes
Let your arms enfold us
Through the dark of night
Will your angels hold us
Till we see the light
Sleep, angels will watch over you
And soon beautiful dreams will come true
Can you feel spirits embracing your soul
"What do you believe?"
"....some kind of sacrifice"
"You haven't got a prayer!"
" (singing)"
"Please, right now sir?"
"Sing..."
When at night I go to sleep,
Fourteen angels watch do keep
Two my head are guarding,
Two my feet are guiding
Two are on my right hand,
Two are on my left hand
Two who warmly hold me,
Two with love enfold me
Two who show me when I rise
Endless is the road I walk merciless is time
Frustrations black and white contentment less defined
Bravery through confidence humility with pride
I can face tomorrow if supplied
This course was set at your decree
surely you must have a plan for me
This prayer I give to you tonight
Lead and direct me with your guiding light
Instill me with the power to smile
even as I push myself to walk the extra mile
Fuel me with desire like phoenix to rise from a fire
unsafe
unsure and screaming
i turn and face the sun

Fairweather friends
A season ends
And your conscience lends
All your lies a hand
'Cause you're a star
And you'll go far
You stand in the flame
Just to make a name
You glance at the ceiling
Buy another round
Lonely but for feeling
I can hang around
Yea I can hang around
The clock on the wall
It takes time to fall
And it's the fall I'll do
If only for you
The chance to run
Has left me spun
Right around the core
Of what I need you for
It's a disaster
And after all I need you to remind myself
That it's my fault, it's not my fault
I can hear the pain
Well pause no more
And I've never prayed before yea
Never prayed before
You glance at the ceiling
And buy another round
Lonely but for feeling
That I can hang around
Album: Peace of Mind
Song: Say a Prayer
(D. Glasper / M. Lillington)
(These lyrics are as they are written on the album sleeve, and may
vary slightly from those actually sung by David on the tracks)
Verse:
Sweet sugar pumping through my veins
Everywhere is on a wire
Sweet sugar you say it's just a game
Soon to be your one desire
When the devil holds your hand
Then you know he's in command
Of temptation
Like the beauty of a rose
Or a summer that will go
Where's salavation
Chorus:
Say a little prayer, say a little prayer for me
Say a little prayer, say a little prayer for me
Verse:
Sweet sugar your world just tumbles down
How you hunger for illusion
Sweet sugar will take more than you own
All you have is your confusion
You'll be standing in the rain
You'll be crying out in shame
For mercy
So you turn to every man
Say you need a helping hand
Don't desert me
Chorus:
Say a little prayer, say a little prayer for me
Say a little prayer, say a little prayer for me
Say a little prayer, say a little prayer for me
Bridge:
I don't know what I've done with my life
I don't know what to think of all this wasted time
I was in search of paradise
Yet this seems a heavy price to pay
Chorus:
Say a little prayer, say a little prayer for me
Won't you say a prayer
Say a little prayer, say a little prayer for me
Won't you say a prayer
Say a little prayer
Say a little prayer

Do it to the snare drum no in prayer.
Show yourself to me baby.
Don't you need someone to save you?
You can think about it tit in your prayer.
-Chorus: I don't believe that I'll ever feel the way you do.
Some day I might try.
I hope I'll never have to.
-Chorus: I don't believe that I'll ever feel the way you do.
Some day I might try.
I hope I'll never have to.
If you feel the spirit move you,
get on your knees and do it quickly.
Do it to the snare drum not in prayer.
Do it to the snare drum not in prayer.
I want you to show me.
I want you to show me.
-Chorus:
I don't believe that I'll ever feel the way you do.
Some day I might try.
I hope I'll never have to.
-Chorus:
I don't believe that I'll ever feel the way you do.
Some day I might try.
The nails are dug in hard
Like the walls around my head
For the fear in my reflection
A wry grin I bear
Prayer
See the man of solitude
With weary eyes, with head in hands
To the fear in his reflection
A wry grin he bears
And to the fear in his religion
A wry grin he bears
I am sorry for you , I can’t leave without you.
All my words have lost their gleaming.
And the grass is grey now you’ve,
tumbled it down,
My heart’s seeking home Now,
I have to grow.
And my fear is true now they’ve,
pulled me on ground My,
mind’s running low,
now I have to grow.
I don’t need anyone to show me the way. I don’t need
anyone to answer my prayers.
I am sorry for you, I can’t breath without you. All my
wounds have left their scars on me.
And the grass is grey now you’ve,
tumbled it down,
My heart’s seeking home.
Now I have to grow.
I am becoming what I despise.

Hear our prayer of Lord
Incline thine ears to hear
Grant us oh Lord Thy peace
We put our trust in thee
Give us the strenght that we need
Supply our every need
Teach us your holy way
These are the words we pray
Teach us your holy way
These are the words we pray
Teach us your holy way
These are the words we pray
Endless is the road I walk merciless is time
Frustrations black and white contentment less defined
Bravery through confidence humility with pride I can face tomorrow if supplied
This course was set at your decree surely you must have a plan for me
This prayer I give to you tonight Lead and direct me with your guiding light
Instill me with the power to smile even as
I push myself to walk the extra mile
Fuel me with desire like phoenix to rise from a fire
I offer up but what I am another lost and lonely lamb
The law is my safety
And I am left wanting left wanting left scared
So my gun is my shepherd
through streets broad and narrow
I am walking through the valley of the shadow of death
And I'm feeling fine
don't try and correct me if you think I'm wrong
If it's necessary when it's necessary for me I'll just
shoot
Is this sexy? do you think you define me?
Well I'm sacrificing my ideas on pacifism
To keep myself safe in a bad situation
Another dream that will never come true
Just to compliment your sorrow
Another life that I've taken from you
A gift to add on to your pain and suffering
Another truth you can never believe
Has crippled you completely
All the cries you're beginning to hear
Trapped in your mind, and the sound is deafening
Let me enlighten you
This is the way I pray
[Chorus:]
Living just isn't hard enough
Burn me alive, inside
Living my life's not hard enough
Take everything away
Another nightmare about to come true
Will manifest tomorrow
Another love that I've taken from you
Lost in time, on the edge of suffering
Another taste of the evil I breed
Will level you completely
Bring to life everything that you fear
Live in the dark, and the world is threatening
Let me enlighten you
This is the way i pray
[Chorus]
Return to me, return to me, return to me, turn to me, leave me no one
Turn to me, return to me, return to me, turn to me, cast aside
Return to me, return to me, return to me, turn to me, leave me no one
Turn to me, return to me, return to me, turn to me, you've made me turn away
[Chorus Variant:]
Living just isn't hard enough
Burn me alive, inside
Living my life's not hard enough,
They take everything from you
[Chorus]
I cannot fight without sacrifice
My missionis to be.. just be... just to be..
I am walking through the path with pain
But for me it's too late.. to surrender... to fail
I'm on the way to my final glory
Polyrhythmia please send me gods!
Hundreds of shadows and ghosts
Have been trying to push me down...
to the ground.. into my grave
But still I stand I am stronger and stronger
I'm crossing the borderline
Without a sound
A wilderness
No one could ever know
The sadness
How it brings me down
I know I have no choice
Is it wise? Taking a life?
And I need to know
Tell me how I should I see the light
I draw the gun
And I take aim
The world stands still
Like a dream
I stray
I'm crossing the borderline
God's on my side
The sacrifice
We make in heaven's name
I'm praying
But there's no escape
I fire a ball of lead
It's so cold
This can't be love
And I need to know
Tell me how I should see the light
I draw a gun
And I take aim
The world stands still
Like a dream
I stray
And I need to know
Tell me how I should see the light
I draw the gun
And I take aim
The world stands still
Like a dream
Hear me pray
My love
When I think I think of all the
good times that we shared
Many places, many promises we had
And now it seems it's over and I know
Feeling that you're never coming home
And I'll be going on without you in my world
I know we never planned for love
to turn out quite this way
The way we started out that
one September day
The first time that I ever saw your face
My lonely heart was
searching empty places
I miss your warm embrace
I need you here today
And this is my prayer for you
No matter how much you think it's over
And this I will swear to you
That I will be loving you forever
And I know you have to go on your own
To find your way back home
If my love had the power
to turn back the hands of tie
I would cherish
every moment you were mine
And now it seems it's over and I know
I didn't know how much I loved you so
Now I'm so all alone without
you in my world
Today I though of you and me and
I began to pray
I prayed Allah would bring you back
to me someday
And you will stay forever in my heart
No matter where you are,
now matter how far
I'll come running back to you
I am praying for my brother to be brave when he's sailing 'cross the sea.
I am praying for my mother not to cry and to be so depressed.
I just want to believe when the war is away
He'll be back: stars will show the way.
I am praying for the fortune not to leave him while he's in open sea.
I am praying to the Deity. Late at night send winds, fill the sails
Let the storms will pursue distant foe all the time
Stars will mark the way with their shine.
Sail through blockade, the ship of the only hope.
Pass the fleet at moment the mist is rising.
Sail through blockade, the ship of the only hope.
[Molitva - english translation]
I'm wide awake
An empty bed drives my dreams away
Life melts like ice
Disappears in the twinkling of an eye
I'm losing my mind,
Pushing reality out of sight
Our lips are touching softly
You're the one I believe blindly
I walk around like crazy
Falling in love frightens me
Days are like wounds
Countless and hard to get through
Prayer...
It burns my sore lips like a fire
Prayer...
Thy name is something I admire
Heaven knows just as well as I do
So many times I have cried over you
Heaven knows just as well as I do
I pray and live only for you
I can't lie to God
as I kneel down and pray
You're the love of my life
All you see is pain
fear the upcoming slaughter from the sky
mystic desease, controlling useless lives
fear and pain is all you see
the spell of darkness chases you
the only escape it's in your fate
hiding over dead bodies
year by year
hope for the answer to the mysteries
innocent belief
craddled in stupid lies
passive reaction before the storm
and time has not passed by in vain
one more life is falling under spell
go to pray , feed the cattle
chorus:
now i feel a burning desire
reanimate all who died in vain
corpse from beyond , corpse without head
where there's no time from all around
and they will step on their accuser's toes
crimes without rule of a judge no a jury
PRAY FOR NOTHING!!!!
pray for emptiness
where all minds fall
recognize all the mysteries
recognize all the lies
pray forever
there's no escape
where the time has not passed by
pray, pray, all your life
in the night
angels fall
appear in flames
show me the truth
fools around you
telling lies
about he walking
on the water again
the only way
to reach heaven
is fight the earth
not your prayers
millions of prayers
cannot save you
from all your sins
amazed us all today we made here a binge
tears of the patriars and the blackness what referred
silence of the bastards the atheism of confessors
this is the holy vortex, the battery for the righteous man
UUURRRHHHH
a bate see to gain trough the powers of hate
the darkness of the sun, and the darkness of the moon
the healingness of fire
the blackness of lightning
the slowness of wind
the shadow never seen ability of her
the looseness of roars
EEERRRHHHH
OOORRHOOORRHOOOORRR
Satan deliver the prayer again!
I'm to poisonned
I'm to burden
I'm to clouded
I'm to dead one
The army issue a pondered pondertmaaaaa
EEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRGGGGHHHHHHHH
a bate see to gain yeah
Slayer of the univerrrrr...
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that flow
I am the sunlight on my own grave
I am a gentle autumn rain
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight
do not stand at my grave and cry
do not stand at my grave and cry
do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there I did not die
(Spoken)
???…is half grown
Even his flower stem has not appeared yet
He's all leaves and roots without a sign of stem in
sight
Blossoming, establishing a new pure relationship with
the cosmos
It is the sign of heaven.
It's the sign of the cobra.
It's the sign of a man who knows himself royally.
Crowned with the sun.
His feet gripping the earth as he goes.
We have arrived.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there I did not die.
I remember back years ago I lived my life without too many cares,
y'all
And the truth of mine so hard to find was hidden there between
so many lies
As the shadows roll across my face the light appears and show
another side now
Things I shoul know, no one told me, now I must go and I'm
begging U tonight...
Say a prayer for me. Don't know where I'm gonna be, as I go on
this journey
Say a prayer me, uh, I'll say a prayer U
Don't know where I'll end up. As I empty out my cup. So please
say a prayer for me
Say a prayer for me and I'll say a prayer for U
Now I lay myself down to sleep I pray my Lord will send me
someone to greet me
As the light appears it seems so clear the things I didn't
understand before
Now I'm looking over all my years I see now who the angel was
beside me
If I hurt U please forgive me. I still need U and I'm begging U
tonight...
Say a prayer for me. Don't know where I'm gonna be, as I go on
this journey
Say a prayer me, uh, I'll say a prayer U
Don't know where I'll end up. As I empty out my cup. So please
say a prayer for me
Say a prayer for me and I'll say a prayer for U
Everybody needs a prayer sometimes something to know that U care
when I'm
Searching so long and hard to find a little bit of piece of
mind
On my knees asking please, will U say a prayer for me?
Ask and U shall receive. It's hard to live in times like these
Fulfilling prophecies, over seas they're living with tragedies
It's hard to know what to do, say a prayer for me I'll play my
prayer for U
Say a prayer for me. Don't know where I'm gonna be, as I go on
this journey
Say a prayer me, uh, I'll say a prayer U
Don't know where I'll end up. As I empty out my cup. So please
say a prayer for me
[Chorus:]

Yes we need more prayer

[Chorus:]
Prayeeeeeeeeeeeeer
This world need some prayer
Prayeeeeeeeeeeeeer
When the morning light tries to hold you tight you snuggle down inside
But when the day insists there's no use to resist just open up and pray
That every move you make and every breath you take and every word you say
Will help the ones you love and those you don't think of and those who turn away
And if there is a God and us he's thinking of well, don't forget to say
That wives and mothers cry to see their babies die it happens every day
So God in heaven above what are you thinking of is this the way you play
(Verse 1)
You say a prayer for me,
And yet you fail to see,
The sickness that I breathe,
It's not what you believe
I gave all that I had,
To the poorer man,
And now he's richer than me,
I live in poverty
I do your dirty work,
And hide away my hurt,
And you may beat me to the ground,
But I will never stay down,
Never stay down
(Verse 2)
I made a choice to be,
Everything you're not you see,
I'm my own entity,
I'm not what you perceive,
I am the air I breathe,
I am the world I see,
Awake and asleep,
In its entirety
The choices we have made,
The paths that we will take,
The measures put in place,
Are there to be erased
(Bridge)
And you may have all the riches in the world,
And you may be in good company,
And you may wear your ego on your sleeve,
But you will never be a better man than me,
Livin' in a cold, cold world
Sometimes it gets hard and you feel like
You can't make it out
When I was just a little girl
My momma told me, "Don't you worry
Hold your head and wear a smile"
"'Cuz you're gonna have days
When you feel like things ain't goin' your way
Just take a moment and pray"
Where would I be? Where would I be?
Where would I be if You ain't never heard a prayer from me?
What would I do? What would I do?
What would I do if I didn't have You to be there for me?
And I'm so thankful for
All the things You've done
Showing me right from wrong
And cleansin' my soul
When all my friends
Turned their back on me
You made me see
You're the only one I need
Where would I be? Where would I be?
Where would I be if You ain't never heard a prayer from me?
What would I do? What would I do?
What would I do if I didn't have You to be there for me?
Where would I be? Where would I be?
Where would I be if You ain't never heard a prayer from me?
What would I do? What would I do?
What would I do if I didn't have You to be there for me?
Way in the midnight hour, I called Your name
'Cuz I knew You were watchin' over me
And I don't know just where I'd be
If somebody never said a prayer for me
Where would I be? Where would I be?
Where would I be if You ain't never heard a prayer from me?
What would I do? What would I do?
What would I do if I didn't have You to be there for me?
Where would I be? Where would I be?
Where would I be if You ain't never heard a prayer from me?
What would I do? What would I do?
What would I do if I didn't have You to be there for me?
I just wanna thank You, Lord
I, I just wanna thank You, Lord
I, I just wanna thank You, Lord
I, I just wanna thank You, Lord
I, I just wanna thank You, Lord
I, I just wanna thank You, Lord
I, I just wanna thank You, Lord
I, I just wanna thank You, Lord
Where would I be? Where would I be?
Where would I be if You ain't never heard a prayer from me?
What would I do? What would I do?
something a little less abstract
something to actually improve
a mind set long enough
hands with actual things to do
please, please
a life less complicated
existence less devestated
a head and heart not aching
from things not accomplished
please, please
a wish to partake in a scheme
somewhat greater
a longing to belong
a plea for plain and simple needing
(Verlaine)
Well, I love to watch you
Move from night to day,
You're a rainbow, Darling, a special kind
That never fades.
Well I could picture this and
I could picture that,
But what I see before me Darling,
No kind of camera will ever catch.
All the love I gather,
All the love you gather,
All the love we gather in our hearts.
All the love I gather,
All the love you gather,
All the love we gather in our hearts.
There are brighter shades
And much deeper hues,
And they're in the light
Of the sweetest honeymoon
All the love I gather,
All the love you gather,
All the love we gather in our hearts.
All the love I gather,
All the love you gather,
All the love we gather in our hearts.
Seems to me it could be
Much more than what it should be
By any old opinion I have of you,
Or any old design
That pops up in the mind,
There's always so much more And it's so new.
All the love I gather,
All the love you gather,
All the love we gather in our hearts.
All the love I gather,
All the love you gather,
