about

I wrote this song about a time in my life when everything seemed to be going wrong and I found myself crying out to God. It's about the feeling that nothing is in control, and you're just hoping, praying, screaming that God will answer you and pull you through the darkness. It's raw, real, and features an emotional verse from my talented friend Illtalian.

lyrics

Another night with no answers
I sit here staring up at the sky
Wishing I could walk on water
But I end up sinking time after time

Feels like the sun it won’t stop setting
Like I’m out of happy endings
And I can’t tell just when this is gonna break
When dreams all come up empty
Now it's no use in pretending
That I could carry this on my own strength

[Hook]Sometimes all you can do is PRAY

Another soul called up to heaven
Too soon & I can barely believe
Well You left me with so many questions, yeah
Like how do I continue to breathe

When it feels like mind is out of meaning
I keep fighting with these demons
I step outside and wear my bravest face
But now my hearts in several pieces
With her gone the pain has deepened
So I'm calling "God, please take it all away"

[Hook]Sometimes all you can do is PRAY

Dear God, I know we haven't spoken in awhile
cause I've been broken, but I'm hoping maybe You could make me smile / so lemme open up awhile if You don't mind holding Your child / I could really use a hug, that's really not my style / but it's been a rough year and I think I've sort of drifted / there's a hole inside my heart, I don't know quite what is missing / so I'm makin it my mission to start livin as a Christian / if You'll even take me back, I could really use forgiveness, yo! / my brother died, and Lord I really miss him / my dad had cancer and it set my world trippin / after everything they'd given it just didn't seem fair / and I'd swear You wasn't there every time I said a prayer / was I talking to the air? / didn't think You'd even care / till You grabbed me by the shoulders and said "Tom, I'm right here, I ain't going anywhere / promise it'll be okay. Just leave it in my hands, all you gotta do is pray."

[Hook]Sometimes all you can do is PRAY
