“Pray For Forgiveness” Lyrics - Alicia Keys

Lyrics

“Pray For Forgiveness”


Beautiful garden, where have you gone?

My self delusions are leaving me in the storm

Taking for granted, all the goodness that I’ve found

Somewhere I lost all, the control came crashing down.


And I pray for forgiveness

Look for the answers

Cause it’s hard

For me to pretend

Look to my mother

Call to the captain

Can’t you see

This state that I’m in?

And no one would notice

Nobody noticed

Cause it’s me where it begins


Beautiful morning, please don’t wake me from my sleep

‘Cause I need some comfort, to regain my sanity

I don’t want to feel this crazy,

I don’t want to feel discarded

Shattered in a million pieces

I’m so broken hearted

No where left to run

No where left to go

So I hope


I pray for forgiveness

Look for the answers

‘Cause it’s hard for me to pretend

Look to my mother

Call to the captain

Can’t you see

This state that I’m in?

And no one would notice

Nobody noticed

That it’s me, where it begins

And I pray for forgiveness within


I swear that everyday I feel like my mind is haunting me

I think of every little stupid mistake that has been made

This time I don’t have the strength to gather myself

I’m falling to pieces


And I pray for forgiveness

Look for the answer

‘Cause it’s hard for me to pretend

Look to my mother

Call to the captain

Can’t you see

This state that I’m in?

Pray for forgiveness

Looking for justice

Searching for answers

Call to my mother

Pray for forgiveness

Breaking the silence


Nobody knows it, nobody noticed

That it’s me

Where it begins
