Pray For Me ft. Soweto Gospel Choir Lyrics

Verse 1

Woke up one Sunday morning

Told my daddy I'm leaving home

I'm going off to the city tomorrow

Even though I don't know where to go

And daddy said “son don't be a fool,

Cos life in the city is unbelievable

You could get broken o you're just a lil’ boy

And you may never find your way”

And I said; I know I could get lost (I know ah)

I know I could get broken (I know ah)

Forgive me father but I gotta take a chance

Oh I'm already gone so just

Hook

Pray for me (Gbadura fun mi)

Pray I find my way (K’ori ba mi se) (that my destiny paves the way)

Forgive me father but I gotta take a chance

Oh I'm already gone so just…

Verse 2

Hello Daddy how you doin’?

Hope mamas doing ok?

It's been 4 years and eleven months now

Mo gbo pe Aduke ti di agba (I hear Aduke is all grown)

You were right when you said to me

That life in the city is unbelievable

Had to struggle just to get by everyday

And I could barely find my way, sugbon (nevertheless)

Mo mo pe mo le sina (o da mi Loju) (I know I could get lost) (I’m cocksure)

Tori pe aiye le (aiye yi soro) (For the world is difficult) (This world is perilous)

Forgive me father but I gotta take a chance

But I'm already gone so just…

And I said; I know I could get lost (I know ah)

I know I could get broken (I know ah)

Forgive me father but I gotta take a chance

Oh I'm already gone so just

Hook

Pray for me (Gbadura fun mi)

Pray I find my way (K’ori ba mi se) (that my destiny paves the way)

Forgive me father but I gotta take a chance

Oh I'm already gone so just…
