Pray For Grace lyrics

Why must I feel like this todayI'm a soldier but afraid sometimesTo face the things that mayBlock the sun from shinin' raysAnd fill my life with shades of greyBut still I long to find a waySo today I pray for graceI take a moment to myselfSo I can myselfTo feel myselfAnd be real myselfLife's addictions and afflictionsCause abrasions from their frictionSometimes, it's easier to live in fictionI can run, but I can't hideFrom the pains thatReside deep down insideThere is no pillThat can be swallowedThere is no guruThat can be followedThere's no escapin'From my own historyThose that I hurt,And those that hurt meI was dead for a million years'Fore I was born andI'll be dead for a million moreAfter I'm goneSo I live, to give somethin'That can live onLike the way you hum a song when the music's goneLike the warmth on the sandWhen the sun goes downAnd I'm sittin' with myselfNobody else is around but,(chorus)Been a long, long timeSince I been awayBeen a long, long timeSince
I felt this wayBeen a long, long timeI found the words to sayHow much I'm gratefulFor my life today'Cause under every cupYou might find a nutBehind every cornerYou might get jacked upAt the end of every rainbow,You might find goldThe last bite of your sandwich,Hope you don't find mould'Cause none of usCan live the perfect lifeThe kind that we see on nick at nightAnd sometimes, we allJust lose sightOf the pain that will guide usFrom dark into the lightWe fall down yes, but we get up,And sometimes we just needA little bit of loveTo help make itThrough another dayInto the night, into the light,Into a SaturdaySo in the morning when I'm waitin'For the sun to raiseAnd my head's a little foggyLike I'm in a hazeI remind myself thatEverything is gonna be okayI take a breath, slow down and say....(chorus)
