Michael Franti - Pray For Grace lyrics
rate me<div class="showResultLinks">Why must I feel like this today<br />
I'm a soldier but afraid sometimes<br />
To face the things that may<br />
Block the sun from shinin' rays<br />
And fill my life with shades of grey<br />
But still I long to find a way<br />
So today I pray for grace<br />
<br />
I take a moment to myself<br />
So I can myself<br />
To feel myself<br />
And be real myself<br />
Life's addictions and afflictions<br />
Cause abrasions from their friction<br />
Sometimes, it's easier to live in fiction<br />
I can run, but I can't hide<br />
From the pains that<br />
Reside deep down inside<br />
There is no pill<br />
That can be swallowed<br />
There is no guru<br />
That can be followed<br />
There's no escapin'<br />
From my own history<br />
Those that I hurt, <br />
And those that hurt me<br />
I was dead for a million years<br />
'Fore I was born and<br />
I'll be dead for a million more<br />
After I'm gone<br />
So I live, to give somethin'<br />
That can live on<br />
Like the way you hum a song when the music's gone<br />
Like the warmth on the sand<br />
When the sun goes down<br />
And I'm sittin' with myself<br />
Nobody else is around but, <br />
<br />
(Chorus)<br />
<br />
Been a long, long time<br />
Since I been away<br />
Been a long, long time<br />
Since I felt this way<br />
Been a long, long time<br />
I found the words to say<br />
How much I'm grateful<br />
For my life today<br />
'Cause under every cup<br />
You might find a nut<br />
Behind every corner<br />
You might get jacked up<br />
At the end of every rainbow, <br />
You might find gold<br />
The last bite of your sandwich, <br />
Hope you don't find mould<br />
'Cause none of us<br />
Can live the perfect life<br />
The kind that we see on nick at night<br />
And sometimes, we all<br />
Just lose sight<br />
Of the pain that will guide us<br />
From dark into the light<br />
We fall down yes, but we get up, <br />
And sometimes we just need<br />
A little bit of love<br />
To help make it<br />
Through another day<br />
Into the night, into the light, <br />
Into a Saturday<br />
So in the morning when I'm waitin'<br />
For the sun to raise<br />
And my head's a little foggy<br />
Like I'm in a haze<br />
I remind myself that<br />
Everything is gonna be okay<br />
I take a breath, slow down and say... <br />
<br />
(Chorus)</
