‘Pray‘ offered an encouraging reminder, especially during these unprecedented times, that regardless of the circumstance prayer is always a necessity. The track has a soothing R&B sound, continuing to demonstrate the songstress’ boundless vocal artistry. Hawthorne consistently continues to add...
[Intro]
(You need to find somewhere you can run to)
(Somewhere a long way from here)
(Troy Taylor, you the goat, TryBishop)
(Pray) Uh, oh, no (Pray)
Mmm (Pray), pray
Oh, pray (Pray)
[Verse 1]
Everybody tryna weather the storm
Trust me when I say I've been there before (I, I, I, I)
I had days when it didn't seem fair
You said the load was never too much to bear (I, I, I, I)
Things I had to go through
So I could better know you (Yeah)
'Cause when I know I can't do it on my own
You're the one that I am leanin' on
[Pre-Chorus]
All things work together for the good
And if You said it, then it must be true
[Chorus]
So in the morning, I pray
When I feel like I ain't gonna make it
That's when I pray
And now I know even when it's so good
You still need to pray
The Lord hears you when you pray
And He responds when you pray
Lord, all I can do is pray
[Verse 2]
So much pain in the world, they've been takin' our girls
And enslavin' 'em, real talk
All the hate bein' spread and the blood bein' shed
I can tell that we need God
We've been goin' to war within ourselves
I know where to go when people fail
'Cause when I know I can't do it on my own
You're the one that I'm leanin' on
[Pre-Chorus]
All things work together for the good (Good)
And if you said it, then it must be true
[Chorus]
So in the morning, I pray
When I feel like I ain't gonna make it
That's when I pray
And now I know even when it's so good
You still need to pray
The Lord hears you when you pray
And He responds when you pray
Lord, all I can do is pray
[Bridge]
You need to find somewhere you can run to
(Oh)
Somewhere a long way from here, oh
[Chorus]
So in the morning, I pray
When I feel like I ain't gonna make it
That's when I pray
And now I know even when it's so good
You still need to pray
The Lord hears you when you pray
And He responds when you pray
Lord, all I can do is pray
[Chorus]
So in the morning, I pray
When I feel like I ain't gonna make it
That's when I pray
And now I know even when it's so good
You still need to pray
The Lord hears you when you pray
And He responds when you pray
Lord, all I can do is pray

I didn’t know BRELAND as a writer, I just heard him sing on Instagram. And I go to the studio with writer-producer Troy Taylor and he’s like, ‘Yeah, I got my guy BRELAND coming in.’ So that was completely like a God moment, BRELAND working on ‘Pray.’ We wrote that song last year. We felt that it was...
