Pray
MattyB Lyrics

There's so many things I haven't seen yet
I acknowledge that I haven't experienced everything life has to offer

I sit and analyze the world on my swing set
I take a moment to reflect and think deeply about the world around me

I see that there's people filled with hate
I recognize that there are individuals who harbor feelings of anger and hostility

But I can't hold on to the darkness at day break
But I can't allow myself to be consumed by negative emotions and must look for the light in difficult situations

Everyday i see the sun rise the same way
Every day I witness the sun's daily routine of rising in the sky

And everyday i see the clouds make funny shapes
And each day I observe the clouds take new and interesting forms

Some people seem ready to leave before they came
Some individuals may appear uninterested or apathetic towards life's offerings

Like they forgot the reasons why we sing in the rain
As if they've lost sight of the simple joys in life

I know if you play hard your clothes get stained
I understand that taking risks can lead to challenges and obstacles

I know if you fall down you might feel pain
I recognize that failure and disappointment can be painful experiences

And i know if you reach out for help when your strayed
And I know that seeking assistance when necessary can be helpful in finding direction

It's always easy to find your way
It's always possible to find a way forward, despite difficulties

I close my eyes and i can see a brighter day
By closing my eyes and focusing on positivity, I can imagine a future filled with possibility

I close my eyes and pray
I turn to a higher power and offer my hopes for the future

Here's a question - why do we stop dreaming?
I pose the question of why individuals often lose sight of their ambitions

Why would we grow up to believe in not believing?
Why would we transition from believing anything is possible to doubting our ability to achieve great things?

Why would i give up - or ever wanna stop this
Why would I want to quit or let go of my dreams?

When i know together there's nothing we can't accomplish
I firmly believe that anything is possible if we work together and stay motivated

You've got a reason to live filled with purpose
There is always a purpose to life and we each have a unique reason for being here

Loosin hope and giving up's something that only hurts us
Losing hope and giving up on our dreams can be incredibly damaging to our well-being

Let your light be one that others can see
Allow your unique qualities and passions to shine through and inspire others

As you grow into the person you were created to be
As you develop and mature, you'll become the person you were always meant to be

I close my eyes and i can see a brighter day
By focusing on positivity, I can envision a future that is filled with promise and success

I close my eyes and pray
Through prayer, I offer my hopes and dreams for the future to a higher power

I dedicate this song to all my Bboys and Bgirls
I dedicate this song to my fellow breakdancers

You should totally PRAY!
I recommend that you also turn to prayer as a means of envisioning a positive future

Wanna know a secret?
Can I share a personal tip with you?

I PRAY every time I even step in a room
Before entering a new environment, I take a moment to pray and center myself

I can't give you 1000 examples why,
I can't offer specific evidence for why prayer works for me

BUT, it seems to work out for me pretty good :)
But based on my personal experiences, it seems that prayer has had positive outcomes for me
