I pray that this night isn't the last time I see my bed
And that the Lords blessings will prevail on cooler heads
I ask that we continue by your grace to be
And through trials and tribulations the blessings we'll still see
Lord I ask that you walk with us through all kinds of strife
I ask for patience love and healing while we seek your light
Especially in the Darkness where all love's gone astray
Lord I ask you give us the strength to continue in the Fray
Lord I pray you take away the take away
Through your grace we would change and be saved
Lord I pray we don't fall prey to the fray
Lord I come to you in sorrow with my hands in the sky
And I'm choking on this teargas and my help won't hear my cries
They dealin death out in broad daylight courts complicit in the crime
Fear of the black man condemned these souls to die
In a world imbued in darkness where all love's gone astray
You know we know no justice for us all we can do is pray
I thought Obama in the Whitehouse meant a change for better days
We see our lives don't really matter at all out here in the fray
Lord I pray you take away the take away
Through your grace we would change and be saved
Lord I pray we don't fall prey to the fray
