People's Prayer
Unlocking Life's Harmony: Man Like Devin's People's Prayer
Lyrics
There is something they say everyone should know
Addressing something universally known.
You work & get a pay, a nuh so life go
Highlighting the common expectation of working for a living.
When everyday the people pray, why must I be so lonely?
Expressing loneliness despite daily prayers of the people.
Listen to the words weh the people say, I don’t want to be alone
Emphasizing the desire to avoid being alone through communal sentiments.
And everyday the people pray, why must I be so lonely?
Reiterating the theme of loneliness despite daily prayers.
Listen to the words weh the people say, I don’t want to be alone
Emphasizing the desire for companionship through communal sentiments.
And it’s always on their mind (someone to give this love a try)
Describing the persistent thought of finding love.
What I think about all the time (tired to weep & moan & cry)
Reflecting on constant contemplation, fatigue, and emotional struggles.
Now I’m here to offer so much love to you
Offering a substantial amount of love to someone.
And to accept love alone as pay for all the work I do
Questioning the idea of receiving only love as compensation for hard work.
There is something they say everyone should know
Reiteration of the common belief in earning a living through work.
You work & get a pay, a nuh so life go
Reemphasizing the societal norm of working for a wage.
Now when I look inside for things I’m longing for
Searching internally for unfulfilled desires.
I’ve got to wonder if there could be something more
Questioning if there is more to life than what is currently experienced.
And everyday the people pray, why must I be so lonely?
Expressing loneliness despite communal prayers, echoing earlier sentiments.
Listen to the words weh the people say, I don’t want to be alone
Stating the desire to avoid solitude through communal affirmations.
And everyday the people pray, why must I be so lonely?
Reiterating the theme of loneliness despite daily prayers.
Listen to the words weh the people say, I don’t want to be alone
Emphasizing the desire for companionship through communal sentiments.
