[Intro]

Okay, can you play it?

Uh-huh, okay… yeah

Okay, umm

So… can you play the full thing?

You don't have to–oh okay

Yeah oh okay


[Chorus]

You don't have to understand it all to get behind the vision

Just pray for respiration and then pray that I get wisdom

I'm going places that I know I can't survive

So pray for respiration and for me to stay alive


[Verse 1]

It doesn't feel as fast when you're in the driver's seat

It doesn't feel as fast when He's the one driving me

So I need to let it fade if I wanna grow

Nah I ain't talking Else when I say that I should let it go

I've got the world in front of me, but I just can't fall in love

Cause I know if I do, then I won't fly like that dove

(he ain't fly)

But it's so enticing, it makes me wanna relapse

I guess this is what happens, when you choose to relax

But He's telling me to work, and not just "do okay"

So I'm telling everything that wants me to stay away

Cause now it's all on me when it comes down to it

Cause it's only when I move that He can do something through it

Not to say I'm in control, no I just need to give it up

I need get over my fear cause I know He won't mess it up

I need to forget the past and then rest in His love

I need to let Him be my heartbeat, the breath in my lungs


[Chorus]

You don't have to understand it all to get behind the vision

Just pray for respiration, and then pray that I get wisdom

I'm going places that I know I can't survive

So pray for respiration and for me to stay alive

You don't have to understand it all to get behind the vision

Just pray for respiration, and then pray that I get wisdom

I'm going places that I know I can't survive

So pray for respiration and for me to stay alive


[Verse 2]

Pray I'll fight for purity, that I won't be the one hurting me

Pray I'll learn to put in work, pray that I won't put me first

Pray that I won't be lukewarm, pray I'll fight for what's in store

Pray that I'll be humble, that I'll win when I struggle

That I won't rush in, that I'll let it develop

That I'll be praying, when those feelings come back

And that I'll love'em, even when they hate me

That God'll save me, that He'll take off my mask

That I'll pursue Godliness for as long as I'm breathing

That I'll love my wife for as long as my heart is beating

That I won't let the success go to my head

That I won't do it for me, but that I'll do it for them

Pray I'll make the SCU, pray that I'll find Soni, too

Pray that I won't be see-through, pray for twenty twenty two

Pray that someone'll watch my back, pray that I will never relax

Pray for me, pray for her, just pray for everything you've heard

Yeah

Woo!


[Chorus]

You don't have to understand it all to get behind the vision

Just pray for respiration, and then pray that I get wisdom

I'm going places that I know I can't survive

So pray for respiration and for me to stay alive

You don't have to understand it all to get behind the vision

Just pray for respiration, and then pray that I get wisdom

I'm going places that I know I can't survive

So pray for respiration and for me to stay alive


[Post-Chorus]

You don’t have to understand it

To get behind the vision

Just pray for respiration

Yeah, wooh!
