WE PRAY

Lyrics from live performance and snippet

[Intro: Chris Martin, Elyanna, Little Simz]
Woah
Ah, ah-ah-ah
And so we pray

[Verse 1: Chris Martin, Little Simz]
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
Pray for enough, pray that [?] wins
Pray I judge nobody and forgive me my sins
I pray we wake in, pray my friend will pull through (Ayy)
Pray as I take in onto others, I do (Ayy)
I pray in all your love, pray with every breath
Though I'm in the valley of the shadow of death

[Chorus: Chris Martin & Elyanna, Chris Martin, Burna Boy, Elyanna & Little Simz]
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, and 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

[Verse 2: Little Simz, Burna Boy, Chris Martin & Elyanna, Little Simz & Chris Martin, Little Simz, Chris Martin & Elyanna]
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
With all the cards that we been dealt in life
Pray I speak my truth
And keep my sisters alive
So, for the ones who plants the seeds (Oh yeah)
For the ones who followed their dreams (Oh yeah)
For the ones who knocked down doors (Oh yeah)
And allowed us to pass down (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

[Chorus: Chris Martin & Elyanna, Chris Martin, Burna Boy, Elyanna & Little Simz]
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, and 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

[Bridge: Burna Boy]
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, yeah

[Chorus: Chris Martin & Elyanna, Elyanna, Burna Boy]
(And so we pray) And so we pray
(And so we pray) And so we pray
(And so we pray) We'll be singing "Baraye"
Till nobody's in need and everybody can sing (Oh-oh-oh)

[Post-Chorus: Chris Martin & Elyanna, Little Simz, Burna Boy]
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 (La-la)
La-la-la, la-la, we pray, we pray
La-la-la, la-la, la-la (I know somewhere that heaven is waitin') (La-la-la)
La-la-la, la-la, la-la (I know somewhere there's something amazin') (La-la-la-la-la, la)
La-la-la, la-la, la-la (Until we feel no pain)
La-la-la, la-la, we pray, we pray, we pray

[Outro: Elyanna, Elyanna, Chris Martin & Little Simz]
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
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
