Pray
Sophie and the Bom Boms Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

He says he love me
He really really love me
Get down on my knees and count the stars above me
If I can count up to a million
He'll save us all from the wreckage of the buildings

I want it all like I'm walking on the water
Look to the sky saying take me like a martyr
They dropping bombs over enemy lines as I get a little hotter
Daughter

Oh Lord
Take me down
I wanna feel you now
Show me there's nothing left to lose

Oh Lord
Take me down
I know you hear me now
Tell me that my dreams will come true
And so I pray

I said I can't see
I really really can't see
How to win when the worlds stacked against me
But still I keep getting higher
Preacher man told me that my souls on fire

Look in your eyes and I get a little stronger
Dukes up so I live a little longer
It's war land by my lemonade stand but I still keep making dollars
Holler

Oh Lord
Take me down
I wanna feel you now
Show me there's nothing left to lose

Oh Lord
Take me down
I know you hear me now
Tell me that my dreams will come true
And so I pray

La LaLaLaLaLa

Oh Lord
Take me down
I wanna feel you now
Show me there's nothing left to lose

Oh Lord
Take me down
I know you hear me now
Tell me that my dreams will come true
And so I pray





La LaLaLaLaLa
