paroles de chanson Prayin' For Shore - Eric Bibb

In a ol′ leaky boat
Somewhere on the sea
Tryin' to get away from the war
Welcome or not, we got to land soon
Oh Lord - prayin′ for shore

The town where I was born
With all my family's gone
Shattered by blast after blast
My will to live is all that survived
But each hour might be my last
Oh Lord - prayin' for shore

Our salty tears rejoin the sea
Bowin′ our heads
Weepin′ for the ones still livin'
For the dyin′, oh Lord, an' the dead
Oh Lord - prayin′ for shore

Surrounded by water, dyin' of thirst
Barely holdin′ on
Once upon a time we had all we needed an' more
But what we need right now - is shore
Oh Lord - prayin' for shore

God knows what awaits us
In a distant, strangers′ land
Might be an angry crowd, shakin′ fists in the air
Might be people reachin' out a helpin′ hand
Oh Lord - prayin' for shore
Oh Lord - prayin′ for shore
