Pray
Cousins Tina Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What a miracle is life
The fields are high and fruit is ripe
So hold out your hands
Yeah,hold out your hands
And your the same as me
You breathe the air i breathe
And we don't understand
Yeah,we don't understand.

And if you don't ask questions,you won't know why
So say a prayer for the dying while there's still time.

Pray for good and pray for love
Pray for peace and pray it's enough
Pray for salvation,pray that we're right
Pray for one day we open our eyes, and
Pray for them and pray for us
Pray for one day we can all live as one
Pray for the children whose time is to come
Just pray they forgive us for the stupid things we've done.

We all see the same sun
Each day a golden praise is sung
To the wonder of man
Yeah,to the wonder of man
And when we look why can't we see
All the riches that are free
Oh,we don't understand
Yeah,we don't understand

And if you don't ask questions,you won't know why
So say a prayer for the dying while there's still time.

Pray for good and pray for love
Pray for peace and pray it's enough
Pray for salvation,pray that we're right
Pray for one day we open our eyes, and
Pray for them and pray for us
Pray for one day we can all live as one




Pray for the children whose time is to come
Just pray they forgive us for the stupid things we've done.

To the marvels of humanity


And when we look why can't we see
Despite our similarities, we still lack awareness and understanding


All the riches that are free
The priceless treasures that surround us

@anahidalgomico-fz5fd

2023 y esta canción sigue siendo un temazo 🔥

@Anakunus

I heard this yesterday from radio and was amazed by the melody. Even today I could not get it out of my mind. To think that a song of modern music could sound do good is astonishing.

EDIT: Seriously, whoever composed this is a genius.

@jean-pierrem34

Same here!

@skurinski

its old, from 1998

@linuslinus8981

Sash touch. No singer like Tina anymore.

@miguelangelborregueroquesa8237

"Pray" like "Mysterious Times" by the great disco diva Tina Cousins are two of the biggest disco tracks of the last 30 years, ultra-hits that still sound incredible today. Undoubted wonders and jewels in the history of disco music and Tina Cousins is one of the most elegant and attractive singers that disco music has had in recent decades. Long live Tina Cousins!!!😘
