Pray For Me
Brother lyrics:
Pray
for me brother
Pray
for me brother
Pray
for me sister
Are you
searching….
Pray
for me brother
Looking for the answers To all the questions In my life
Will I
be alone Will you be there By my side
Is it
something he said Is it something he did
I
wonder why He is searching For the answers
To stay
alive
Could you
ever listen Could you ever care
To
speak your mind
Only
for a minute For only one moment
In time
The joy
is around us But show me the love
That we
must find
Are you
searching For a reason to be kind, to be kind…
He
said… Pray for me brother
Pray
for me brother Pray for me sister
Pray
for me brother Say
what
you wanna say now
But
keep your hearts open
Be what
you wanna be now
Let’s
heal the confusion
Pray
for me brother
Don’t
let me take When you don’t wanna give
Don’t
be afraid Just let me live
Don’t
let me take When you don’t wanna give
Don’t
be afraid Say what you wanna say now
But
keep your hearts open
Be what
you wanna be now Let’s heal the confusion
Pray
for me brother Pray for me brother
I’m
ashamed ah, brother be dying of poverty
when he
down on his knees its only then he prays
And
it’s a shame ah, brother be dying of ignorance
cos the
world is a trip and everybody’s a hypocrite
Need to
stop ah , taking a look at the other
I’m not
ashamed of poverty
need to
be making his life better
So
think about it, think about it once more
cos
life is a blessing and it’s not just a show, ah
Round
and round the world is spinning around
We need
to be singing a prayer, we need to be singing it now
Round
and round the world is turning around
We need
to be singing a prayer, we need to be singing it now
Need to
be feeling the power, need to be feeling the faith
We need
to coming together just to win this race
Need to
be feeling the power, need to be feeling the faith
We need
to coming together just to win this race (twice)
Are you
searching for a reason to be kind ?
