HEAVENLY FATHER,PLEASE HEAR ME TONIGHT
I NEED YOUR GUIDANCE TO LIVE MY LIFE RIGHT
SOMETIMES THE PRESSURE IS SO HARD TO BEAR
I OFTEN WONDER IF ANYONE CARES

HOW CAN I WAKE UP AND FACE A NEW DAY
KNOWING I LIVE LIFE THIS CRAZY WAY
GIVE ME THE STRENGTH TO RESIST THE THE WILD LIFE
HELP ME ESCAPE THE TEMPTATION AND STRIFE

PLEASE HELP MY FAMILY WHO PLEAD FOR ME
NOT TO DO WRONG AS THAY PRAY FOR ME
BLESS MY MOTHER WHO CRYS AT NIGHT
WORRYING WILL I BE KILLED BY SOMEONE IN A FIGHT?

HEAVENLY FATHER, PLEASE ANWSER THEIR PRAYER
LET THEM KNOW YOUR LISTENING UP THERE
WHEN WILL IT END?, WHAT'S IT ALL FOR ?
TO PROVE TO MY HOMEYS I'M DOWN AND HARD CORE.

SOMETIMES I WONDER HOW I WILL DIE
WILL IT BE A BEATING , OR A SHANK IN MY SIDE?
GIVE MY HEART PEACE SO I DON'T HAVE TO FIGHT
SHOW ME THE WAY, LORD, SHOW ME THE LIGHT


THANK YOU FOR FORGIVNESS, FOR STILL BEING THERE
AND SHOWING ME YOUR LOVE AND HOW MUCH YOU CARE
WITHOUT YOU, THESE BAD TIMES I COULD NOT BEAR
MOST OF ALL, THANK YOU FOR LISTENING UP THERE.
