Pray For Me


Pray for me
By Layomi Oyelami


I am flowing with milk and honey
My milk is sour, my honey is bitter
Pray for me

I am a giant
Falling at the fling of a stone
Pray for me

I am suffering from a heart failure
While I'm supposedly the heart
Pray for me 

I am oppressed by the terror within
All I seek is the peace without
Pray for me

I am very ill
Every part of me is infected, even you, so,
Pray for me

I need a miracle
So I need you to
Pray for me

I also need you to work with me
Stop complaining and condemning me
Pray for me

I will recover and regain my splendor
And then you'll be happy you
Pray'd for me
