pray for my people

John Butler Trio

Now, now, go, oh, now
Pray for my people, all my family
Pray for my mother, pray for my father
Pray for my people, all my family
Pray for my ancestors who came before me
Pray for my people, all my family
Pray for my sister and my mother and the children
Pray for my people, all my family
Pray for my aunts and uncles and my cousins

Pray for my people, all my family
Pray for my lover, I m praying for my children
Pray for my people, all my family
Pray for my friends and all the enemies I make
Pray for my people, a family
For all the rivers and rolling valleys in the ocean
See for my people, all my family
Pray for the deserts, mountains, and forests
For my people, all my family

Pray in the sky above
Pray for the country, pray for my people, all my family
For all those who fly and swim and swing and walk and climb

Pray for my people, oh my family
Praying for the water, I m praying for the forest
Pray for my people, all my family
For all the soldiers fighting and all those seeking peace
Pray for my people, all my family
For all those who are leading, all the greedy people
Pray for my people, all my family
Pray the shame and pain and all the blame games we play

Pray for my people, all my family
I m blessed for the good times, grateful for the hard times
Pray for my people, all my family
Don t worry about tomorrow, I m grateful for this moment
Pray for my people, all my family
I m praying for my mother, I hope she can find some peace
Someday for my people, all my family
Pray for my ancestors who came before me

Pray for my people, all my family
Pray for my sister and my brother and the children
My people, I am all my family
Praying for my aunts and uncles and my cousins
Pray for my people, all the family
Praying for my lover, praying for my children
Family, pray for my friends and all the enemies I make

Pray for my people, all my family
For all the rivers and valleys running and the ocean
My people, all my family
Pray in the deserts, mountains, and forests
My people, all my family
Pray in the sky above

Pray for the country, my people, all the family
For all those who fly and swim and swing and walk and climb
Pray for my people, my family
Praying for the water, I m praying for the trees
For the farmers, for my people
All the family, for all the soldiers
fighting and all those who want peace

Pray for my people, all my family
For all those who are leading, all the greedy people
Pray for my people, all my family
Pray the shame, the pain, and all the blame games we play
For my people, all my family

For my people, all my family
Don t worry about tomorrow, I m grateful for this moment
For my people, my family
Don t worry about tomorrow, I m grateful for this moment

All my people, all my family
All my family, all my relatives
