肩ならべて生まれた町の空ながめて
きみといま想像したより冷たい風に
生きる心地つかんでる

きみがいるこの幸運胸がふるえる

つながっているひとつの大地の上
どんな涙もどんな歓喜の声も

耳をすませば聞こえてくるだろう
今日もどこかでだれかがだれかのために祈る

あの鳥からも見えてるだろうか
きみの肩に手をまわした
変わってゆくよそっと人知れず
山のかたち川の流れ

あの人たちはみんな元気だろうか

つながっているひとつの大地の上
かぞえきれない人々の日常
希望に湧く町絶望に泣く友
今日もどこかでだれかがだれかのために祈る
I will pray for you

この喜びと感動をあの人に
その悲しみと痛みをこのボクに
分け与えられる日がやってくるだろうか
そこで初めて一歩前に進める

つながっているひとつの大地の上
どんな涙もどんな歓喜の声も
耳をすませば聞こえてくるだろう
今日もどこかでだれかがだれかのために祈る

ほとばしるこの想いだれかのために
I will pray for you
あふれだすこの響きだれかのために
Do you hear me now?
ほとばしるこの想いだれかのために
I will pray for you

あふれだすこの響きだれかのために
Can you hear me now?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Pray" by Jay-Z and Led Zeppelin can be interpreted as a message of hope and interconnectedness among people. The song starts by describing the view of a town from a shared perspective and acknowledges the harshness of the wind, but still finds the ability to feel alive. The presence of the person they're with adds to their feeling of luck and happiness.

The song then moves to highlight the idea that everyone is connected on the same Earth, able to hear each other's tears and joys if one listens closely enough. The lyrics encourage the listener to take note of those around them who may be praying for someone else's sake. The idea of being one with nature is also present in the song, as the shapes and movements of mountains and rivers are mentioned.

The chorus emphasizes the power of prayer, and how it can be used to share both joy and pain with others. The lyrics suggest that if someone is ever given a chance to help someone else in their pain, to take it and move forward.

In its entirety, "Pray" can be seen as a message to value human connection and empathy in a world that can often feel cold and distant.
