lyrics

We pray in the night
Struggle in the day
Trying to survive
Working hard to earn our pa
Because there's no other way
The gives and the takes
The bends and the breaks
Still gotta keep the face
Because there's no other way

Everyday people
Minimum wages
Life in debt to society, yeah
Times are changing
Steady rearranging
What's in store for our great future?
Generation hopeless
Ready, need a oneness
Still we wait for our prosperity, yeah

We pray in the night
Struggle in the day
Trying to survive
Working hard to earn our pay
Because there's no other way
The gives and the takes
The bends and the breaks
Still gotta keep the face
Because there's no other way

Through the trials of the day we move it on the double
Times a get hard every nickle make a muckle
To feed our youth we're working from morning
No time to waste, we have to keep it going
We need our seeds to grow so we cultivate through the push and the shove
Survival is the mission so we can't give up
'Cuz we're compelled by the powers above
Guided by the most high, delivering solutions for I and I and I
We pray, we pray

We pray in the night
Struggle in the day
Trying to survive
Working hard to earn our pay
Because there's no other way
The gives and the takes
The bends and the breaks
Still gotta keep the face
Because there's no other way

Take a look around we see the consciousness a changin'
Rich and poor alike we all have challenges we facin'
Gotta to have a vision in the road ahead we travellin'
Even when the road ahead seems to be unravelling
We haffa walk not by sight but by faith
We haffa uplift the human race
No matter what the cards that we hold in our hands
Got to stay alive and find a place to take our stance

With money on our minds, it's tough to keep our temper
We forwardin' through time wishing life could be simpler
We struggle and we're striving day to day
But in a smile there's a hope so let love lead the way
We were put here to shine so shine
Liberate your heart while you elevate your mind
No more hiding in the shade
It's time to rise up and give thanks and praise

We pray in the night
Struggle in the day
Trying to survive
Working hard to earn our pay
Because there's no other way
The gives and the takes
The bends and the breaks
Still gotta keep the face
Because there's no other way

We pray in the night
Struggle in the day
Trying to survive
Working hard to earn our pay
Because there's no other way
The gives and the takes
The bends and the breaks
Still gotta keep the face
Because there's no other way
