«We Pray» von Coldplay
(Oh, oh)
And so we pray
Ooh, ooh, ooh

I pray that I don’t give up, pray that I do my best
Pray that I can lift up, pray my brother is blessed
Praying for enough, pray Virgilio wins
Pray I judge nobody and forgive me my sins

I pray we make it, pray, my friend, I pull through
Pray as I take it onto others, I do
Praying on your love, we pray with every breath
Though I’m in the valley of the shadow of death

And so we pray
For someone to come and show me the way
And so we pray
For some shelter and some records to play
And so we pray
We’ll be singing Baraye
Pray that we make it to the end of the day
And so we pray
I know somewhere that Heaven is waitin‘
And so we pray
I know somewhere there’s something amazin‘
And so we pray
I know somewhere we’ll feel no pain
Until we make it to the end of the day

I pray that love will shelter us from our fears
I will pray you trust too, let me wipe off your tears
Confront all the pain that we felt inside
Over the cards we were dealt in life
Pray I speak my truth and keep my sisters alive

So, for the ones who parted seas (oh, yeah)
For the ones who’s followin‘ dreams (oh, yeah)
For the ones who knocked down doors (oh, yeah)
And allowed us to pass down keys (oh, yeah)
Pray that we speak with a tongue that is honest
And that we understand how to be modest
Pray when she looks at herself in the mirror
She sees a queen, she sees a goddess

And so we pray
For someone to come and show me the way
And so we pray
For some shelter and some records to play
And so we pray
We’ll be singing Baraye
Pray that we make it to the end of the day
And so we pray
I know somewhere that Heaven is waitin‘
And so we pray
I know somewhere there’s something amazin‘
And so we pray
I know somewhere we’ll feel no pain
Until we make it to the end of the day

On my knees, I pray, as I sleep and wake
‚Cause inside my head is a frightenin‘ place
Keep a smilin‘ face only by His grace
‚Cause love’s more than I can take, hey

And so we pray
For someone to come and show me the way
And so we pray
For some shelter and some records to play
And so we pray (pray)
We’ll be singing Baraye
Till nobody’s in need and everybody can sing (no, no)

La-la-la-la-la-la-la (la-la)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la (la-la-la-la)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la (sing it to me)
La-la-la-la-la, we pray, we pray
La-la-la-la-la-la-la (I know somewhere that Heaven is waitin‘) (is waitin‘)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la (I know somewhere there’s something amazin‘) (something amazin‘)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la (until we feel no pain)
La-la-la-la-la, we pray, we pray, we pray

La-la-la-la-la, la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la
La-la-la-la-la, we pray, we pray, we pray
