You didn't send me no letter
Don't think I could forgive you
See our world is slowly dying
I'm not wasting no more time
Don't think I could believe you
You didn't send me no letter
Don't think I could forgive you
See our world is slowly dying
I'm not wasting no more time
Don't think I could believe you
Yeah, our hands will get more wrinkled
And our hair will be grey
Don't think I could forgive you
And see the children are starving
And their houses were destroyed
Don't think they could forgive you
Hey, when seas will cover lands
And when men will be no more
Don't think you can forgive you
Yeah when there'll just be silence
And when life will be over
Don't think you will forgive you
Yeah, you never said a word
You didn't send me no letter
Don't think I could forgive you
See our world is slowly dying
I'm not wasting no more time
Don't think I could believe you
Yeah, you never said a word
You didn't send me no letter
Don't think I could forgive you
See our world is slowly dying
I'm not wasting no more time
Don't think I could believe you
Yeah, our hands will get more wrinkled
And our hair will be grey
Don't think I could forgive you
And see the children are starving
And their houses were destroyed
Don't think they could forgive you
Hey, when seas will cover lands
And when men will be no more
Don't think you can forgive you
Yeah when there'll just be silence
And when life will be over
Don't think you will forgive you
The lyrics to Robin Schulz's song "Prayer" paint a picture of someone who has been wronged and cannot forgive the person who hurt them. They begin with the singer acknowledging that the person in question never communicated with them and, as such, they don't think they could ever forgive them. In the next lines, the singer emphasizes the urgency of the situation - they believe that the world is dying and they don't want to waste any more time or energy on the person who hurt them.
As the song progresses, the singer's resentment intensifies. They highlight the physical toll that time will take on them ("our hands will get more wrinkled/And our hair will be grey"), but also the suffering that others are enduring ("see the children are starving/And their houses were destroyed"). The singer questions whether the person who hurt them will ever be able to ask for forgiveness ("don't think you can forgive you"), and ultimately concludes that even in death, they will never be able to truly let go of their anger and hurt ("when there'll just be silence/And when life will be over/Don't think you will forgive you").
Overall, the song "Prayer" is a haunting meditation on the power and persistence of unresolved hurt and anger. It speaks to the difficulty of forgiveness in the face of deep hurt, and the lasting impact that our actions can have on others.

@@VilkasPilkas Sweet! Here´s some worthless advice:
Always question what you see, most facts in your life are gonna be lies or worse, half truth
Be kind, but focus on yourself. Its good to be nice to People, but the better you do as an individual the better society as a whole will prosper.
Work out. Your Body is the only thing you truly own. Make it into something you can be proud of.
Its Worthless advice because you wont listen.
