Pray The Sunshine

Too often I let myself go drift away
I give into the power of negative thoughts
I let them overrun me, dictate my present
I find myself the victim of my own choice again, this is upsetting
They’ve not given me the key
So I am left to teach myself
In bad scenarios
Believing that I was just a master without power, without magic, without anything
 
When I was little I was affected by my life
Much more vividly than I had been taught
Life full of meaning, I used to see it like a playground
I built dreams there, went to fulfill my wishes
Looking back, I had been prohibited, repressed, and afraid to love
I wanted to correspond to the wishes of another to please him and forgot myself
 
Chorus :
Pray the sunshine
And it got into your heart
Pray the mind
And it got into mine
Pray the sunshine
And it got into your heart
Pray the mind
And it got into your
 
When people tell me that I’m naive
Or even that my speech is utopian
I let them say it
I even give them a smile
I won’t forget myself anymore to comfort them in their fear of action
Another outlook on the world, the essential of listening to each other
Must really begin
So I accept what I think even if it’s disturbing
 
(Chorus)
 
This shines inside of me
Miracles are just occurrences outside of our normal beliefs
(2 times)
 
I was alive, I was sick from desire
Thought a hundred times to choose another path
And here everything that’s open to me
Happiness, what joy, to find confidence in oneself again
To decide on so simple a solution
The antidote to my own poison
How can you remain unaware?
How can you, how is it possible?
What can I do about it, what can I do about it?
 
(Chorus)
