Praying Away the Pain
I bow down and pray
That I’ll see the light of day someday
When will I ever be free?
I cry out to you, baby
That I’ll see the light of day, we’ll see
Today, I feel dismay
Darkness forms in front of me
Will I ever be free like a bird of liberty?
Darkness forms in front of me,
Wishing to pray away the pain of captivity
My lonesome soul takes wing of flight
Wish you were mine tonight
Wish you were mine tonight
My beautiful lies lie awake in fright
Hoping to see the light in goodbye...
Promise I won’t break tonight, I cry
Everything is black and white
Praying away the pain tonight
Everything is out of sight
Everything has changed alright
Darkness forms in front of me
Will I ever be free like a bird of liberty?
Darkness forms in front of me,
Wishing to pray away the pain of captivity
I crawl to bed at night
And pray away the demons from my mind
That haunt me day and night
I call out to you in the light
We’ll see to it that you’ll be my kind
You’ll be my lovely find
Darkness forms in front of me
Will I ever be free like a bird of liberty?
Darkness forms in front of me,
Wishing to pray away the pain of captivity
My lonesome soul takes wing of flight
Wish you were mine tonight
Wish you were mine tonight
My beautiful lies lie awake in fright
Hoping to see the light in goodbye...
Promise I won’t break tonight, I cry
Everything is black and white
Praying away the pain tonight
Everything is out of sight
Everything has changed alright
Darkness forms in front of me
Will I ever be free like a bird of liberty?
Darkness forms in front of me,
Wishing to pray away the pain of captivity
You’re my lonesome song
I pray away the pain of strife
That cuts me like a knife
All along, I do belong
In the light, despite this life
That has done me wrong
That has done me wrong
That has done me wrong
Praying away the pain
Praying away the pain
Praying away the pain
Darkness forms in front of me
Will I ever be free like a bird of liberty?
Darkness forms in front of me,
Wishing to pray away the pain of captivity
My lonesome soul takes wing of flight
Wish you were mine tonight
Wish you were mine tonight
My beautiful lies lie awake in fright
Hoping to see the light in goodbye...
Promise I won’t break tonight, I cry
Everything is black and white
Praying away the pain tonight
Everything is out of sight
Everything has changed alright
Darkness forms in front of me
Will I ever be free like a bird of liberty?
Darkness forms in front of me,
Wishing to pray away the pain of captivity
Praying away the pain
Praying away the pain
Praying away the pain
The pain of a tragic captivity
Sometimes, it gets better in time,
You’ll see, you’ll see, you’ll see
We’re young in heart, but in the grime,
Praying in the rain
Praying in the rain
Praying in the rain
Again
