WE PRAY Songtext
von Coldplay feat. Little Simz, Burna Boy, Elyanna, & TINI

Whoa

(And so we pray)

I pray that I don′t give up
Pray that I do my best
Pray that I can lift up
Pray my brother is blessed
Praying for enough, pray virgilio wins
Pray I judge nobody and forgive me my sins

I pray we make it
Pray, my friend, I pull through
Pray as I take it onto others, I do
Praying on your love, we pray with every breath
Though I'm in the valley of the shadow of death

(And so we pray) for someone to come and show me the way
(And so we pray) for some shelter and some records to play
(And so we pray) we′ll be singing "baraye"
Pray that we make it to the end of the day


(And so we pray) I know somewhere that heaven is waitin'
(And so we pray) I know somewhere there's something amazin′
(And so we pray) I know somewhere we′ll feel no pain
Until we make it to the end of the day

I pray that love will
Shelter us from our fears
I will pray you trust too
Let me wipe off your tears
Confront all the pain that we felt inside
Or all the cards that we dealt in life
Pray I speak my truth
And keep my sisters alive

So for the ones who parted the seas (oh yeah)
For the ones who followed dreams (oh yeah)
For the ones who knocked down doors (oh yeah)
And allowed us to pass down keys (oh yeah)
Pray that we speak with a tongue that is honest
And that we understand how to be modest
Pray when she looks at herself in the mirror
She sees a queen, she sees a goddess


(And so we pray) for someone to come and show me the way
(And so we pray) for some shelter and some records to play
(And so we pray) we'll be singin′ "baraye"
Pray that we make it to the end of the day

(And so we pray) I know somewhere that heaven is waitin'
(And so we pray) I know somewhere there′s something amazin'
(And so we pray) I know somewhere we′ll feel no pain
Until we make it to the end of the day

On my knees, I pray, as I sleep and wake
'Cause inside my head is a frightening place
Keep a smiling face only by disgrace
'Cause love′s more than I can take, hey

(And so we pray) for someone to come and show me the way
(And so we pray) for some shelter and some records to play
(And so we pray) we′ll be singin' "baraye"
′Til nobody's in need and everybody can sing

La-la-la-la-la-la-la (la-la)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la (la-la-la-la)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la (sing it to me)
La-la-la-la-la we pray, we pray
La-la-la-la-la-la-la (I know somewhere that heaven is waitin′) (is waitin')
La-la-la-la-la-la-la (I know somewhere there′s something amazin') (something amazin')
La-la-la-la-la-la-la (until we feel no pain)
La-la-la-la-la we pray, we pray, we pray

La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la we pray, we pray, we pray
