A INSPIRATIONAL BALLAD about never giving up

Hey Old Friend

Pray for Me has Country/Rock soul with banjos and guitars used to tell the story inspired by the Music originated in the South of the United States in the 50s. 
     This song is about a man who lost his Soul, his Faith, and his Way in this World and decided to enlist in the military hoping that it would resolve his inner demons.  The song is his cry to his Family and Parents he left behind.  It's a call for Prayer from them because he has to go through this inner and outer struggle in order to survive in this new world but this isn't a goodbye. He'll find his way back.
     It was heavily inspired by my experiences while working on 68 Whiskey.



PRAY FOR ME LYRICS 

Verse 1 

 I have prayed so many nights to the God I don’t believe in 

I have wasted so much time pouring morphine into my tea 

And mama when I call let it go to busy tone 

I need to burn so I can be reborn 

Chorus 

Pray for me Pray for me when you see me rolling down the hill 

In my Humvee, bringing peace to the world I've failed in 

Pray for me Pray for me to come back in one piece 

Mama please, tell me when I have lost my wits and feels 

Post-Chorus 

Mama please don’t cry cause I’ve lost all my wits and all my feels 

Papa please don’t judge cause I need to learn through tears and my fears, fears 

Verse 2 

They say courage comes to those who take a mighty stand 

But the fears in my head cloud my judgment again and again 

So Papa push me out of my nest let me fall to death 

People like me need to fall to grow wings  

Chorus 

Pray for me Pray for me when you see me rolling down the hill 

In my Humvee, bringing peace to the world I've failed in 

Pray for me Pray for me to come back in one piece 

Mama please, tell me when I have lost my wits and feels 

Post-Chorus 

Mama please don’t cry cause I’ve lost all my wits and all my feels 

Papa please don’t judge cause I need to learn through tears and my fears, fears 

Bridge 

Pray for me, Pray for me when you hold my daughter’s hand 

Pray for me, Pray for me. I guess that’s all I have left 

Tell my girls don’t cry. This isn’t a goodbye 

Mom and dad, your son managed to stay alive 

Chorus 

Pray for me Pray for me when you see me rolling down the hill 

In my Humvee, bringing peace to the world I've failed in 

Pray for me Pray for me to come back in one piece 

Mama please, tell me when I have lost my wits and feels 

Post-Chorus 

Mama please don’t cry cause I’ve lost all my wits and all my feels 

Papa please don’t judge cause I need to learn through tears and my fears, fears
