4am

I don't pray, I don't pray like I used to
I can't wait, can't keep waiting on you
Say somethin', just say somethin'
Say somethin', just say somethin'
I don't pray, I don't pray like I
I can't wait, can't keep waiting on you
Say somethin', just say somethin'
Just say somethin', just say somethin'

Pray for the day like, uh
Pray for the day like
Pray for the day I
Find me the way—I'm
Lost and I can't find faith 'cause it ain't mine
Momma taught me how to pray
Pastor told me that I'm saved

Some days I pray that I conquer fear
Some nights I pray that I disappear
Momma told me we'd be okay
But I could tell that she's not okay

Prayin' for the day like, uh
Prayin' for the day like
Prayin' for the day I
Find me the way
I'm lost and I can't find faith, faith
