Native Prayer

In the morning sky, before sunrise Under her watchful eye, they make it through another night And as the dawn subsides, and her children rise Will they wake to freedoms light, or is justice too blind To have seen, that what's been done Its to much to bear by anyone And to have seen, that what's been done And to not help and just to stall, it's a shame upon us all. Gaza, let me put my arms around you Lift you to the stars And watch you fly away, fly away Gaza, although I'm there with you I'll never forget to, Work for better, Work for better days Better days, yeah. And as her day rolls by, she's focused on how to survive With every step of every stride, her head is held up with pride But look into her eyes, her children's lives How they find a will to survive, When freedom's denied. And they see that what's been done Its to much to bear by anyone And to have seen, that what's been done And to not help and just to stall, it's a shame upon us all. Though I'm not there with you now, Aint no way no how, that I'm gonna let you down With everything that I am, Imma do the best that I can Until your able to stand. And as the day turns to night, and the call of the prayer recites Prayer's their only source of light, In the darkness of the night And as she sings her kids to sleep Praying that their dreams will be sweet Cause dreams are last retreat from reality
