Emeli Sande Prayed Up Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In times like these we gotta love and try and trust each other
I am your sister and youʼre always gonna be my brother
In times like these we gotta make sure hate donʼt start to poison
Before you know it streams can quickly turn into an ocean
To all the doctors, teachers , nurses and to all keys workers
You are our inspiration
Have all our admiration
See all the rainbows in the windows painted by the children
Thank you thank you

[Chorus]
Everybody stay safe
Stay prayed up
Itʼs time to show the world
What youʼre really made of
Stay safe
Stay prayed up
Things are gonna get much brighter
Come on I know youʼre a fighter

[Verse 2]
In times like these we gotta hold on tighter to our families
And separate the who we wanna be from who we have been
Dig little deeper give your soul much needed conversation
I made a pinky promise with myself to make some changes
Iʼm praying for all people locked in houses theyʼre not safe in
In times like these inequalities becoming oh so blatant
Some people good some people numb
Some people still ain't eating
Please God we need some healing [Chorus]
Everybody stay safe
Stay prayed up
Itʼs time to show the world
What youʼre really made of
So stay safe, stay prayed up
Things are gonna get much brighter
Come on I know youʼre a fighter
Stay safe, stay prayed up
Things are gonna get much brighter
I know youʼre a fighter

[Verse 3]
Thank you for the life Iʼm living
Thank you for the strength youʼre giving
Even in these times so different
Your love remains the same, no different
When I need my spirit lifted
I can count on your assistance
Grant us peace and grant us patience
Let us see souls before races (Let us see souls before races)
Give us hope to stay united (Give us hope to stay united)
Come to far to be divided (Come to far to be divided)
Thank you for all youʼre providing
(I thank you for all youʼre providing)
Thank you, thank you
[Chorus]
Everybody stay safe (Stay safe)
Stay prayed up (Stay prayed up)
Itʼs time to show the world
What youʼre really made of
Stay safe (Stay safe)
Stay prayed up (Stay prayed up)
Things are gonna get much brighter
I know youʼre a fighter
