Nowadays ain't life.
It used to be once upon a time
(time).
Cause everywhere I go I see my people suffering and that ain't right
(right).
It makes me sit and wonder about what's in store. For I and I ah ah ah. Sometimes they seem so hopeless it's got me saying Lord what a crazy life. That's when I said:
Lord, hear me when I pray. Won't you watch over me. Give me the strength to over come all of my enemies. When things get too crazy, I know you'll rescue me. Cause all I got in my heart is love and I pray ay ay ay every night, every day ay ay ay.
Ooh Lord, Lord, Lord.
People I used to know are changing and it's not like it was before.
Sometimes I don't understand it but now I get that's just the way things go
(go).
I pray I hope you guide me Lord, Lord, Lord through all these rocky roads. Hey ay ay ay.
Cause I've got in you Lord so know I'm saying I've got to let it show, show, show.
Lord, hear me when I pray. Won't you watch over me. Give me the strength to over come all of my enemies. When things get too crazy, I know you'll rescue me. Cause all I got in my heart is love and I pray ay ay ay every night, every day ay ay ay.
Break it down for now ah ah ah.
Nowadays ain't life.
It used to be once upon a time
(time).
Cause everywhere I go I see my people suffering and that ain't right
(right).
It makes me sit and wonder about what's in store. For I and I ah ah ah. Sometimes they seem so hopeless it's got me saying Lord what a crazy life. That's when I said:
Lord, hear me when I pray. Won't you watch over me. Give me the strength to over come all of my enemies. When things get too crazy, I know you'll rescue me. Cause all I got in my heart is love and I pray ay ay ay every night, every day ay ay ay.
Hear me when I pray ay ay ay.
(Ay Ay Ay)
