"Pray" lyrics
"Pray"
I'm young and I'm foolish, I've made bad decisions
I block out the news, turn my back on religion
Don't have no degree, I'm somewhat naïve
I've 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
And 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 (no!) reading the Bible (no!)
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 wanna 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 (Lord), pray (Lord)
Maybe I'll pray, pray for a glimmer of hope
Maybe I'll pray (Lord), pray (Lord)
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
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

'Pray' is the second single off of Sam Smith's second album.
Sam Smith explained Billboard the story behind this song, "I spent five days in Mosul and came back embarrassed that I had known so little about the world and other people's lives. […] I wanted to write about how I'm now starting to open my eyes, at 25, to what is going on in the rest of the world, and that it's not always pretty."
There is a remix of 'Pray' featuring
Logic on an additional verse. A
music video was filmed for this version.
