WE PRAY (TWICE Version) Lyrics
[Intro: Elyanna, Chris Martin & Burna Boy]
Oh
And so we pray
And so we pray
Ooh
[Verse 1: Chris Martin]
I pray that I don’t give up, pray that I do my best
Pray that I can lift up, pray my brother is blessed
Praying for enough, pray Virgilio wins
Pray I judge nobody and forgive me my sins
I pray we make it, I pray my friend will pull through
As I take it unto others, I do
Praying on your love, we pray with every breath
Though I’m in the valley of the shadow of death
[Chorus: Chris Martin & Elyanna, Chris Martin, Burna Boy]
And so we pray
For someone to come and show me the way
And so we pray
For some shelter and some records to play
And so we pray
I will be singing “Baraye”
Pray that we make it to the end of the day
And so we pray
I know somewhere that Heaven is waitin’
And so we pray
I know somewhere there’s something amazin’
And so we pray
I know somewhere we’ll feel no pain
Until we make it to the end of the day
[Verse 2: TWICE, Chris Martin]
어둠 속에서 실 같은 불빛 한 줌 내려주지 않아도
따스한 온기 한 줌 내어주지 않아도
보아주지 않아도
홀로 피어 나오길 새어나오길
깨어나 마침내 새벽이 오면 (Ah, yeah)
저 길 끝에서 결국엔 웃고 있을까 (Ah, yeah, ah, yeah)
벼랑 끝에서 서롤 끌어안고 있을까 (Ah, yeah)
답을 알려줘
이대로 사라질지 영원할지 so we just pray
[Chorus: Chris Martin & Elyanna, Chris Martin, Burna Boy]
And so we pray
For someone to come and show me the way
And so we pray
For some shelter and some records to play
And so we pray
I will be singing “Baraye”
Pray that we make it to the end of the day
And so we pray
I know somewhere that Heaven is waitin’
And so we pray
I know somewhere there’s something amazin’
And so we pray
I know somewhere we’ll feel no pain
Until we make it to the end of the day
[Bridge: Chris Martin]
Lights are on but there’s nobody home
It seems like it’s dark in there
Guess I’ll have to face it all alone
It looks like the world don’t care
Somewhere there’s the strength to go on
Feel like you walk on air
So we listen for the angel song
Talk to someone out there
[Chorus: Chris Martin, Elyanna, Burna Boy, Chris Martin & Elyanna]
And so we pray
And so we pray
And so we pray
And so we pray
And so we pray
We’ll be singin’ “Baraye”
‘Til nobody’s in need and everybody can say (Oh)
[Post-Chorus: Choir, Little Simz, Chris Martin, Elyanna & TWICE, Burna Boy & Elyanna Choir, *Burna Boy*]
La-la-la, la-la, la-la (La-la)
La-la-la, la-la, la-la (La-la-la, la)
La-la-la, la-la, la-la (Sing it to me)
La-la-la, la-la, we pray, we pray
La-la-la, la-la, la-la (*I know somewhere that Heaven is waitin’*, is waitin’)
La-la-la, la-la, la-la (*I know somewhere there’s something amazin’*, something amazin’)
La-la-la, la-la, la-la (*Until we feel no pain*)
La-la-la, la-la, we pray, we pray, we pray
[Outro: Chris Martin & TWICE]
La-la-la, la-la, la-la
La-la-la, la-la, la-la
La-la-la, la-la, la-la
La-la-la, la-la, we pray, we pray, we pray
WE PRAY (TWICE Version) Lyrics Meaning
[Intro: Elyanna, Chris Martin & Burna Boy]
The intro introduces the meditative tone of the track with Elyanna, Chris Martin, and Burna Boy uniting in a simple yet profound expression: “And so we pray.” This refrain becomes the song’s spiritual mantra, signaling a collective cry for hope and resilience. The repetition sets a reflective tone, immediately immersing the listener in a sense of shared vulnerability and longing.
[Verse 1: Chris Martin]
Chris Martin’s verse is deeply introspective, filled with personal prayers that touch on perseverance, compassion, and redemption. He prays for his own strength, the well-being of others, and spiritual guidance. By referencing both biblical imagery and everyday struggles, Martin anchors his faith in a world that often feels dark, aligning personal vulnerability with a universal quest for light.
[Chorus: Chris Martin & Elyanna, Chris Martin, Burna Boy]
The chorus elevates the emotional landscape, expanding from personal pleas to a broader cry for direction, comfort, and music as healing. The mention of “Baraye”—a song associated with protest and freedom—highlights the global relevance of struggle and resistance. The lines suggest a shared belief in eventual relief and the transformative power of hope, unity, and perseverance.
[Verse 2: TWICE, Chris Martin]
TWICE offers a haunting and poetic reflection in Korean, emphasizing perseverance even in isolation and darkness. Their words evoke imagery of fragile hope—like a single thread of light—and pose questions about survival, legacy, and whether suffering will lead to unity and joy. Their verse reinforces the theme of enduring hardship while holding onto the promise of dawn.
[Chorus: Chris Martin & Elyanna, Chris Martin, Burna Boy]
Revisiting the chorus strengthens the communal feeling of the song. It reaffirms the need for guidance, comfort, and spiritual refuge, with the repeated phrase “we pray” acting as a chant of collective resilience. The blending of voices emphasizes how each artist brings their unique cultural and emotional layer to the shared plea.
[Bridge: Chris Martin]
The bridge dives into feelings of loneliness and abandonment, likening the world to an empty home. Chris Martin questions the absence of compassion and support but holds onto the belief that somewhere, hope still sings. This section conveys a powerful message: even when the world feels indifferent, faith and inner strength can still guide us forward.
[Chorus: Chris Martin, Elyanna, Burna Boy, Chris Martin & Elyanna]
In this chorus variation, the repetition becomes more urgent and immersive. The mention of “Baraye” gains more weight, and the collective “we” feels even stronger. Each voice becomes part of a growing spiritual chorus, unified in its longing for justice, peace, and connection.
[Post-Chorus: Choir, Little Simz, Chris Martin, Elyanna & TWICE, Burna Boy & Elyanna Choir, Burna Boy]
The post-chorus is a climactic, multi-layered call of unity. The choir’s “la-la” chant builds an uplifting, almost gospel-like crescendo. Little Simz, TWICE, and Burna Boy join in, making it feel like a global prayer circle. Burna Boy’s interjections underscore the ongoing hope for heaven and amazement, showing how prayer and music can transcend borders and pain.
[Outro: Chris Martin & TWICE]
The outro continues the chant, winding down the song like a fading candle still glowing in the darkness. Chris Martin and TWICE close the piece with soft, echoed voices, leaving the listener with a lingering sense of prayer, unity, and quiet strength in the face of adversity.
