Lyrics:
“We Pray For You”
Music by J Rice
Words by J Rice & Brett McLaughlin
Verse 1:
If I could take
it away
the pain that you’re feeling
the nightmare you’re living…today
I wish that I
could make a change
but I’m only one person
I’ll take my share of the burden
pre-chorus:
I don’t have much to give
but hopefully the world, will all join in
and say with me…
chorus:
I pray for you
And If we stop for a moment
Imagine what we can
do
I know together
we’ll help you make it
through
we’ll help you make it through
we pray for you
Verse 2:
while we are safely
asleep
mothers are searching
lost and uncertain
in need
My heart won’t let
me believe
it’s ok doing nothing
when others are suffering
Pre-chorus:
even if we don’t have much to give
hopefully the world, will all join in
and say with me…
(Chorus)
Verse 3:
can’t fix it all
overnight
but we won’t stop trying
until everyone’s hands
unite
The future looks brighter
now
you may be knocked down
but you’ll be stronger somehow
Pre-chorus:
even if we don’t have much to give
hopefully the world, will all join in
and say with me…
Story behind this song:
I sent out an email on April 1st to a lot of my youtube friends with a very rough mix of this song with only one verse and chorus. I had no idea if anyone would even be interested in singing it with me, but within 24 hours 90% had responded saying they were in. A week later I sent everyone their parts. Luckily I was familiar with each individual voice, so I tried to pick parts that would showcase their vocals and also be the perfect match for mood in the song. 3 weeks later, (50 hours of editing/mixing)… all the parts were in and the video was completed. This project has been an amazing experience and we all hope that a real difference can be made with it.
