Pray For Grace Lyrics - Everyone Deserves Music - Michael Franti & Spearhead

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
