pray

Sam Smith

I?m young and I?m foolish
I make bad decisions
I block out the news
Turn my back on religion
Don?t have no degree
I?m somewhat naïve
I have made it this far on my own

But lately that shit ain?t been getting me higher
I lift up my head and the world is on fire
There?s dread in my heart
And fear in my bones
I just don?t know what to say

Maybe I?ll pray
Pray
Maybe I?ll pray
I have never believed in you, no
But I?m gonna pray

You won?t find me in church
Reading the Bible
I am still here and I?m still your disciple
I?m down on my knees
I?m begging you, please
I?m broken, alone and afraid

I?m not a saint
I?m more of a sinner
I don?t want to lose but I fear for the winners
When I try to explain
The words run away
That?s why I am stood here today

And I?m gonna pray
Pray
Maybe I?ll pray
Pray for a glimmer of hope
Maybe I?ll pray
Pray
Maybe I?ll pray
I?ve never believed in you, no
But I?m gonna

Won?t you call me?
Can we have a one on one please?
Let?s talk about freedom
Everyone prays in the end
Everyone prays in the end
Oh, won?t you call me?
Can we have a one on one please?
Let?s talk about freedom
Everyone prays in the end
Everyone prays in the end

Oh, I?m gonna
Pray
I?m gonna
Pray
I?m gonna
Pray
Pray for a glimmer of hope
Maybe I?ll pray
Pray
Maybe I?ll pray
I?ve never believed in you, no
But I?m gonna pray
