R. Kelly - Prayer Changes Lyrics
Somebody just look back over your life andSee where he brought you fromHow many of you know?Prayer changes (I heard that)Prayer changes (I believe that)Prayer changes (I know that)Prayer changes thingsPrayer changes (I heard that)Prayer changes (I believe that)Prayer changes (I know that)Prayer changes thingsNow I was in a real bad abusive relationshipKnowing that that was no way for me to liveA young girl like me, raised up in a good familyWay too young to endure such miseryAnd every night I cry myself to sleep from all the painAnd the more I prayed for sunny days it seemed to rain(He'd hit me) at any given time(He'd hit me) no reason at all(He'd hit me) so, so hard(He'd hit me) my God, sometimes I'd fallMama asked what happened to meAnd I'd take up for himShe said the devil's a liarAnd prayed God get rid of himAnd now I'm going to schoolHitting those books I'm doing fineHe's out my life I'm not confusedGot peace of mind man I tell youPrayer changes (it changes)Prayer changes (oh it changes)Prayer changes (I'm a witness)Prayer changes things (said I know)Prayer changes (it changes)Prayer changes (it changes)Prayer changes (I'm a living witness)Prayer
