Lyrics:

Text: W. Merziger, A. Kammermeier, P. Hayo, N'XT UP Music: W. Merziger, A. Kammermeier, P. Hayo I need to pray for redemption to stop my sorrow and pain I need to pray for redemption the tears wash away my shame hit rock bottom failed in defeat (8x) my guest for a higher elevation is a nuisance in a world of confusion and stress compiled wit' my daily sinin' is a burdon on my chest release me, from the evil that lurks inside me all I ask is that you to guide me down the road of a righteous path maybe then I can surpass my oppressors, aggressors placed obstacles before me I couldn't master backstabbors, played me for a fool friends I thought I knew, who were untrue misguided me, lied to me, blinded me to the point I couldn't see the forrest for the trees hit rock bottom failed in defeat Chorus: I need to pray for redemption and start all over again I need to pray for redemption the tears wash away my shame I need to pray for redemption to stop my sorrow and pain I need to pray for redemption the tears wash away my shame hit rock bottom failed in defeat (8x) faith, one should never give up hold your head up high you must live up to expectations large or small individuality's the key to conquer all mischief, followed me like a shadow lost battles, left me shallow still I kept pressin' on bullets that grazed me made me strong I knew if I believed in me I would achieve great things and be redeemed dreams deferred, end in dark alleys pessimists, tend to dilly dally perceive if you will a thought can a leader be great who has no heart never ending opportunity awaits keep the faith Chorus
