Michael Franti & Spearhead - Pray For Grace lyrics

Your rating:




Why must I feel like this today?

I'm a soldier, but afraid sometimes

To face the things that may

Block the sun from shining rays

And fill my life with shades of grey

Still I long to find a way

So today I pray for grace



I take a moment to myself

So I can hear myself

To feel myself

And be real myself

Life's addictions and afflictions

'Cause abrasions from their friction

Sometimes it's easier to live in fiction

I can run, but I can't hide 

From the pains that reside down deep inside

There is no pill that can be swallowed

There is no guru that can be followed

There's no escapin' from my own history

Those that I hurt and those that hurt me

I was dead for a million years 'fore I was born and

I'll be dead for a million more after I'm gone

So I live to give somethin' that can live on

Like the way you hum a song when the music's gone

Like the warmth of the sand when the sun goes down

And I'm sittin' with myself, nobody else is around, but



Why must I feel like this today?

I'm a soldier, but afraid sometimes

To face the things that may

Block the sun from shining rays

And fill my life with shades of grey

And still I long to find a way

So today, I pray for grace



Radio, come on now

To all my people in the front, I say hey (hey)

To all my people in the back, I say yo (yo)

To all my people on the side, I say ah (ah)

Everybody in the place tonight 

Say yay (yay)

Say yo (yo)

Say yay-ay-ay (yay-ay-ay)

Say yo-o-o (yo-o-o)



It's been a long, long time

Since I been away

Been a long, long time

Since I felt this way

Been a long, long time

I found the words to say

How much I'm grateful

For my life today



'Cause under every cup you might find a nut

Behind every corner you might get jacked up

At the end of every rainbow you might find gold

The last bite of your sandwich, hope you don't find mold

'Cause none of us can live the perfect life

The kind that we see on 'Nick at Nite'

And sometimes we all just lose sight

Of the pain that will guide us

From dark into the light

We fall down yes, but we get up

And sometimes we just need a little bit of love

To help to make it through another day

Into the night, into the light, into a Saturday

So in the morning when I'm waiting for the sun to raise

And my head's a little foggy like I'm in a haze

I remind myself that everything is gonna be okay

I take a breath, slow down and say...



Why must I feel like this today?

I'm a soldier, but afraid sometimes

To face the things that may

Block the sun from shinin' rays

And fill my life with shades of grey

And still I long to find a way

So today I pray for grace



And I say 



Why must I feel like this today?

I'm a soldier, but afraid sometimes

To face the things that may

Block the sun from shinin' rays

And fill my life with shades of grey

And still I long to find a way

So today I pray for grace



Radio, come on now

To all my people in the front, I say hey (hey)

To all my people in the back, I say yo (yo)

To all my people on the side, I say ah (ah)

Everybody in the place come on and

Say yay (yay)

Say yo (yo)

Say yay-ay-ay (yay-ay-ay)

Say yo-o-o (yo-o-o)



Why must I feel like this today?

I'm a soldier, but afraid sometimes

To face the things that may

Block the sun from shinin' rays

And fill my life with shades of grey

And still I long to find a way

So today, I pray for grace



So today, I pray for grace

So today, I pray for grace

So today, I pray for grace
