Pray For Redemption Lyrics - Singles - Culture Beat

Text: W. Merziger, A. Kammermeier, P. Hayo, N'XT UP 

Music: W. Merziger, A. Kammermeier, P. Hayo 

I need to pray for redemption 

to stop my sorrow and pain 

I need to pray for redemption 

the tears wash away my shame 

hit rock bottom failed in defeat (8x) 

my guest for a higher elevation is a nuisance 

in a world of confusion and stress 

compiled wit' my daily sinin' 

is a burdon on my chest 

release me, from the evil that lurks inside me 

all I ask is that you to guide me 

down the road of a righteous path 

maybe then I can surpass 

my oppressors, aggressors 

placed obstacles before me I couldn't master 

backstabbors, played me for a fool 

friends I thought I knew, who were untrue 

misguided me, lied to me, blinded me 

to the point I couldn't see the forrest for the trees 

hit rock bottom failed in defeat 

Chorus: 

I need to pray for redemption 

and start all over again 

I need to pray for redemption 

the tears wash away my shame 

I need to pray for redemption 

to stop my sorrow and pain 

I need to pray for redemption 

the tears wash away my shame 

hit rock bottom failed in defeat (8x) 

faith, one should never give up 

hold your head up high you must live up 

to expectations large or small 

individuality's the key to conquer all 

mischief, followed me like a shadow 

lost battles, left me shallow 

still I kept pressin' on 

bullets that grazed me made me strong 

I knew if I believed in me 

I would achieve great things and be redeemed 

dreams deferred, end in dark alleys 

pessimists, tend to dilly dally 

perceive if you will a thought 

can a leader be great who has no heart 

never ending opportunity awaits 

keep the faith 

Chorus
