When the Blue Child Prays Lyrics

Mother, I'm here

Say a prayer or two for my soul

I've been feeling down

Really down lately

And I think God

Has put me on voicemail

Sending the rain down

On my sunshine

I just need a break

From all these worries

The voices in my head, yea

They keep on coming

Telling me that I'm never gonna

Get to that place you said I should be

Who really has any sheet

Figured out lately

I'm just trying hard

To make it to tomorrow

But tomorrow seems like

It's never coming here

I keep rowing my boat down to destiny

No more

They say no more pain

Keep on rowing your boat

Down to destiny

They say no more

They say no more pain

But, preacher man lied to me

All I know is pain and worries

And my hand are heavy

And yet he keeps on coming

I'm tired of reading the Psalms

And praying on holy water

Water fill me up

I don't know what to give to you

All you want is everything

Give to you

All you want is everything

All of my mind

All my toes, joints aching

No more faking

I just wanna rest a little bit

No more

No more pain

They say keep on rowing

This boat to destiny

But the place I'm going to is not

Really not clear

I'm just a little child

So Mama

Mama, rinse me off these demons

I pray

Rinse me off these demons

I pray

I'm just a little girl

Little little sweet child

Trying to make it to tomorrow

Keep on rowing this boat down to destiny

No more

No more pain

Keep on rowing this boat

Down to destiny

No more

They say no more pain

Dear father in heaven

This is your child once again

I thought it was well with me

But my soul is burning

The karma they talk about is

Really not good

I keep giving and

Getting nothing else in return

See

My brother's heart is aching

And my sister's womb is

Praying for a child, you know

We're all just trying to heal from

All the pain that you fed us

As we were just little children

They said

"Mama's gone, and father's gone"

Now you're all alone

But keep on swimming

Keep on drowning

Maybe one day you'll float ashore

Rowing your boat to destiny

No more

No more pain

Keep on rowing your boat

Down to destiny

They say no more

They say no more pain

Keep on rowing your boat

Down to destiny

They say no more

They say no more pain

Keep on rowing your boat

Down to destiny

They say no more

They say no more pain

Oh Bring the fire, fire, fire, fire

Cleanse me

Cleanse me of these demons

Bring the rain

Let it wash me clean

I just wanna be white and clean

White and clean again

Oh Black Child (Dear God in heaven)

Black Child (It's me again)

No more pain

(Won ni moja mosa la n

Makinkanju loju Ogun)

No more pain

(Amo okan mi rewesi)

(Tumi ninu)

Black child, No more pain
