Michael Franti And Spearhead - Pray For Grace lyrics

Why must I feel like this today I'm a soldier but afraid sometimes To face the things that may Block the sun from shinin' rays And fill my life with shades of grey But still I long to find a way So today I pray for grace I take a moment to myself So I can myself To feel myself And be real myself Life's addictions and afflictions Cause abrasions from their friction Sometimes, it's easier to live in fiction I can run, but I can't hide From the pains that Reside deep down inside There is no pill That can be swallowed There is no guru That can be followed There's no escapin' From my own history Those that I hurt, And those that hurt me I was dead for a million years 'Fore I was born and I'll be dead for a million more After I'm gone So I live, to give somethin' That can live on Like the way you hum a song when the music's gone Like the warmth on the sand When the sun goes down And I'm sittin' with myself Nobody else is around but, (chorus) Been a long, long time Since I been away Been a long, long time Since I felt this way Been a long, long time I found the words to say How much I'm grateful For my life today 'Cause under every cup You might find a nut Behind every corner You might get jacked up At the end of every rainbow, You might find gold The last bite of your sandwich, Hope you don't find mould 'Cause none of us Can live the perfect life The kind that we see on nick at night And sometimes, we all Just lose sight Of the pain that will guide us From dark into the light We fall down yes, but we get up, And sometimes we just need A little bit of love To help make it Through another day Into the night, into the light, Into a Saturday So in the morning when I'm waitin' For the sun to raise And my head's a little foggy Like I'm in a haze I remind myself that Everything is gonna be okay I take a breath, slow down and say.... (chorus)
