Pray

• By: Sam Smith, Logic

Lyrics:

[English]

[中文]

I'm young and I'm foolish, I've made bad decisions

年少輕狂 太傻 太多的錯

I block out the news, turn my back on religion

無視新聞 背棄了信仰

Don't have no degree, I'm somewhat naïve

沒有文憑 有點天真

I've made it this far on my own

孤身一人走到今天

But lately, that shit ain't been gettin' me higher

但最近 這些都讓我不再快樂

I lift up my head and the world is on fire

抬起頭 世界一片火海

There's dread in my heart and fear in my bones

心中充滿恐懼 骨頭都在害怕

And I just don't know what to say

我真的不知該說什麼

Maybe I'll pray, pray

也許我該祈禱

...

...

Maybe I'll pray

也許我該祈禱

I have never believed in you, no

我從未相信過你 從未

...

...

But I'm gonna pray

但我會祈禱

...

You won't find me in church (no) reading the Bible (no)

你不會在教堂看到我 讀聖經

I am still here and I'm still your disciple

我依然在這裡 我還是你的信徒

I'm down on my knees, I'm beggin' you, please

我雙膝跪地 懇求你

I'm broken, alone, and afraid

我破碎 孤獨 又害怕

I'm not a saint, I'm more of a sinner

我不是聖人 我更像罪人

I don't wanna lose, but I fear for the winners

我不想輸 但我為贏家擔心

When I tried to explain, the words ran away

當我試圖解釋 話語卻溜走了

That's why I am stood here today

所以今天我站在這裡

And I'm gonna pray (Lord)

我要祈禱 (主啊)

Pray (Lord), maybe I'll pray
