Akon - Pray 4 Kaya Lyrics

As far as girls go she was my best friend, I go to pick her up but she ain't dressed yet
I told her that I've cancelled so she ain't prepped yet
Just so I could surprise you
Never forget get
Three days before it happened, we're in the West End
We're bout to catch a movie, after we just eat
See we would talk for hours, it's like we just met
We had a thing before, but now we're just friends
I told her everything
She showed me everything
She told me anything
I would give anything
Just to see her smile at me, or just to see her smile at least
Wake up from her sleep and I expect to see her whine at me
Because I wasn't there, to tell her not to go into that car that day
And end up on the road, where that car would crash, but she never lost her soul
She's in a coma hanging on but she don't wanna go, cause she's a star out here, and yeah she's on a role
Everybody's praying for her, she ain't on her own
I just wish that I coulda called her on the phone that day and caused her not to go that day
And I just wanna know why god would make them, when he knew that he would take 'em young
Four girls, one died on the scene, her name was patience
And the rest of them were patient, had everybody pacing up and down the hospital hallways, praying and saying god don't you take them please

I don't wanna leave, but they won't let me stay
I wish I had the powers, to take the pain away
Wipe away the tears, and take the rain away
Wanna be together forever so I get down and pray
I don't wanna leave, but they won't let me stay
I wish I had the powers, to take the pain away
Wipe away the tears, and take the rain away
Wanna be together forever so I get down and pray
The next day, a second girl passes away and her face is pasted all over the myspaces to make it worse
I didn't know her, but I know her name was D-Crystal
I know your family miss you, and I can't say the words
To describe this whole scenario, how to say it hurts, is an understatement
Yeah I'm trying to pray but will the prayers work
Because we prayed for puff, but god still took him
But I'm a keep on praying, cause gods still looking

And Kaya's still sleeping, I wanna wake her up
But gods still peeping he wants to take her up
One of the few girls I know that really ain't corrupt
She called her self the queen of clubs, I call her the queen of hearts
Tryna reassure her friends, but deep inside my heart would brace
Don't wanna ask her sister questions or look into her fathers face
Because I knew there could be news that would be hard to take
After days of hanging on, sadly Kaya past away

I don't wanna leave, but they won't let me stay
I wish I had the powers, to take the pain away
Wipe away the tears, and take the rain away
Wanna be together forever so I get down and pray
I don't wanna leave, but they won't let me stay
I wish I had the powers, to take the pain away
Wipe away the tears, and take the rain away
Wanna be together forever so I get down and pray
If you got a bit of fire in you, listen
That means you've got a bit of Kaya in you
You need to use it to search for something for something higher in you
And you need to realise there's something higher then you
If you aim for the stars, they'll start admiring you
And life's to short to live without the fighter in you
Prayer moves mountains, so hold up your hands
Prayer can change your life, but not gods plans

So I don't wanna leave, but they won't let me stay
I wish I had the powers, to take the pain away
Wipe away the tears, and take the rain away
Wanna be together forever so I get down and pray

Cause I don't wanna leave, but they won't let me stay
I really wanna breath but any day could be the day
When it's your time to go, it's your time to go
So live your life like you know
Get on your knees and pray
