Dave Shul - 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 shining rays And fill my life with shades of grey Still I long to find a way So today I pray for grace I take a moment to myself So I can hear 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 down deep 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 of the sand when the sun goes down And I'm sittin' with myself, nobody else is around, but Why must I feel like this today? I'm a soldier, but afraid sometimes To face the things that may Block the sun from shining rays And fill my life with shades of grey And still I long to find a way So today, I pray for grace Radio, come on now To all my people in the front, I say hey (hey) To all my people in the back, I say yo (yo) To all my people on the side, I say ah (ah) Everybody in the place tonight Say yay (yay) Say yo (yo) Say yay-ay-ay (yay-ay-ay) Say yo-o-o (yo-o-o) It's 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 mold 'Cause none of us can live the perfect life The kind that we see on 'Nick at Nite' 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 to make it through another day Into the night, into the light, into a Saturday So in the morning when I'm waiting 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... 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 And still I long to find a way So today I pray for grace And I say 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 And still I long to find a way So today I pray for grace Radio, come on now To all my people in the front, I say hey (hey) To all my people in the back, I say yo (yo) To all my people on the side, I say ah (ah) Everybody in the place come on and Say yay (yay) Say yo (yo) Say yay-ay-ay (yay-ay-ay) Say yo-o-o (yo-o-o) 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 And still I long to find a way So today, I pray for grace So today, I pray for grace So today, I pray for grace So today, I pray for grace
