God Forbid We Pray

“God Forbid We Pray”

 

Verse

Its hard to watch TV screens

Full of hate, full of mean

These days, thats all you see

 

Young man, twenty-one

Mad as hell at everyone

So he turns to a bottle of pills and a loaded gun

 

Just like his daddy done

 

Hook

God forbid we pray

Bow our heads, hit our knees and have some faith

Lets not do the one thing that takes away the pain

No lets not say his name, out loud except in vain

 

As the devil smiles at our children while they play

God forbid we pray

 

Verse

He’s a soldier, son, husband, dad

He went to war and brought it back

And in his head he’s still on the front line

Tryna get a job and get by

 

Hook

God forbid we pray

Bow our heads, hit our knees and have some faith

Lets not do the one thing that takes away the pain

No lets not say his name, out loud except in vain

 

As the devil smiles at our children while they play

God forbid we pray

 

Bridge
