I wish I could say everything's OK and we'll all be fine in Gods' good time, but I don't think so anymore
The world is knocking at my door
They say come out and play, we can pray some other day
God don't listen anyway

I'll pray for you, you pray for me too, you know there's a God above and there's nothing he can't do
I'll pray for you

I wish I knew how to talk to you without making you think I'm some kind of freak, but I can't tell you why I care
If I can't tell you to beware
There's too many beggars and too many thieves and I know you know what I mean, the only answer's on our knees

I'll pray for you, you pray for me too, you know there's a God above and there's nothing he can't do
I'll pray for you

I wish I could say everything's OK and we'll all be fine in Gods' good time, but I don't think so anymore
My innocence has drowned and washed up on the shore
I know there will come a day when God will have his own way
And this old world wont be the same
I wish I could find my peace of mind when somebody says they're better off dead.......

I'll pray for you, you pray for me too, I know there's a God above and there's nothing he can't do
I'll pray for you

This is a great sound, vocally and instrumentally.
You did good on this, Japov.

Vic

Lol... I've often thought that my rough phone recordings actually have more "character" than what I do with my DAW. Thanks for that Vic!

Nice jam, Japov. Love the writing. It works as an acoustic piece just fine but think this would develope nicely with a little more accompaniment and depth. But on it's own it works well.
Mighty fine work, sir!

Michael

Thanks Michael!
I've got 3 versions of this one lol, and one is reggae... You ever have that problem?

I can't say that I do...and that might not be a good thing. I go with the first inclination and build on that, forgoing different versions.
That's not to say that it hasnt been suggested that I make such changes.... and a few times I have taken them up on it much to the benefit of the song.

MB

There is a lot to like about this song. The lyric is really exceptional, your voice is immediately recognizable and you created a great groove with just an acoustic guitar, a couple of chords and cool strum pattern. You didn't need anything else. That is talent.

Steve

Oh, come on Steve... You know you want to do the reggae version

only soca

Lol... let's hear some of that island beat "mon"
