Raquel's Prayer

[intro] God, you know the time I’m livin’ in, we stack guilt up like debt for them. the sinners spread like fire fueled by wind, I’m your witness, you're my only friend. [Verse 1] Look at me oh what a shame, just throw me out into the pin, I’m just writing what I see, and I'm letting truth come settle in, Promises are sold for cheap, and hope is bringing up predicaments, Kids keep paying for the many lies, and parents swear they’re innocent. [Hook] Hands held low eyes lookin’ up, I want to be good, but then the road gets really rough. Hands up to you I’m checking in, I'm not innocent, I’m just like them. Keep me honest in my thoughts, and let my words be helpful please. don't let me lock them in my heart, I got too much weight on top of me. [Verse 2] I’ve seen friends turn into foes for nothing but a petty mess, Leaders yelling out for peace, but never really finding rest. News keeps telling stories, where half the truth gets all applause. While silence holds no weight at all, it's like life’s not valued much at all. I’m no better look at me, I’m aware of sins and that your son paid the cost. [verse 3] If I stumble, please remind me of why I even need to speak, If I’m wrong, correct me quick because I start to feel so weak! Too many nights of playing fake, we are so lost like where are we at? I pray for those who want to ask, forgive me cause I'm just like that. [Hook] Hands held low eyes lookin’ up, I want to be good, but then the road gets really rough. Hands up to you I’m checking in, I'm not innocent, I’m just like them. Keep me honest in my thoughts, and let my words be helpful please. don't let me lock them in my heart, I got too much weight on top of me. [outro] I stumble taking steps ahead, I feel like they all keep on judging me, ‘Cause doubt grabs hold of me so fast, then I take fault so easily. what a world so bad we’re living in, its so hard can you please help us again.
