Did I Forget to Pray
Reflections at 3 am: A Soul's Conversation with God
Lyrics
It's 3 am and I can't sleep
Expressing restlessness at 3 am and inability to sleep.
I'm watching war on my TV without the sound
Observing war on TV without sound, possibly reflecting on the silent struggles.
My family is tucked in tight
Family is safely asleep, but the singer feels a disconnect with God.
But somehow God I feel like I let You down
Feeling a sense of disappointment, as if failing God.
Did I forget to pray
Questioning whether prayer was forgotten.
Yeah, get down on my knees
Reflecting on kneeling in prayer and expressing gratitude.
Thank You for the things
Thanking God for providing everything needed today.
Everything I need today
Gratitude for the abundance of blessings.
There's a cross around my neck
A cross as a symbol of God's presence and constant closeness.
To remind me that You're never far away
A reminder that God is always nearby.
Have I been missin' all the things
Wondering if important messages from God were overlooked.
That You really have to say
Reflecting on the possibility of missing God's guidance.
God, did I forget to pray
An expression of regret for potentially neglecting prayer.
We're all blessed here on my block
Acknowledging blessings in the singer's community.
Is that where I let my heart stop
Questioning if the heart stopped caring on the block.
There's a world out there
Acknowledging the existence of a larger world with pain and suffering.
I see all that pain and sufferin'
Observing and recognizing the pain and suffering in the world.
I been so busy doin' nothing
Admitting being engrossed in unproductive activities, neglecting concern for others.
I forgot to care
Realizing a lack of care for external struggles.
Did I forget to pray
Repeating the question of forgetting to pray.
Yeah, get down on my knees
Reiterating the act of getting down on knees and expressing gratitude.
Thank You for the things
Thanking God for daily necessities.
Everything I need today
Gratitude for receiving everything needed today.
Here's a cross around my neck
A symbol of faith close to the singer.
To remind me that You're never far away
Reaffirming the constant presence of God.
Have I been missin' all the things
Questioning if important messages from God were overlooked.
That You really have to say
Reflecting on the possibility of missing God's guidance.
God, did I forget to pray
An expression of regret for potentially neglecting prayer.
There's a cross around my neck
Reiterating the constant presence of God through a cross.
To remind me that You're never far away
Emphasizing that God is always near.
Did I forget to listen
Questioning if the ability to listen to God was forgotten.
Was I too wrapped up in doin' things my way
Reflecting on being self-absorbed and not following God's way.
God, did I forget to pray
Expressing concern about forgetting to pray.
God, did I forget to pray
Reiterating concern about potentially neglecting prayer.
