Sam Smith - Pray (Live At Austin City Limits)

'Gloria', the album - out now: samsmith.world/GloriaID
Lyrics:
I'm young and I'm foolish, I've made bad decisions
I block out the news, turn my back on religion
Don't have no degree, I'm somewhat naïve
I've made it this far on my own
But lately, that shit ain't been gettin' me higher
I lift up my head and the world is on fire
There's dread in my heart and fear in my bones
And I just don't know what to say
Maybe I'll pray, pray
Maybe I'll pray
I have never believed in you, no
But I'm gonna pray
You won't find me in church (No)
Readin' the Bible (No)
I am still here and I'm still your disciple
I'm down on my knees, I'm beggin' you, please
I'm broken, alone, and afraid
I'm not a saint, I'm more of a sinner
I don't wanna lose, but I fear for the winners
When I try to explain, the words run away
That's why I am stood here today
And I'm gonna pray (Lord), pray (Lord), maybe I'll pray
Pray for a glimmer of hope
Maybe I'll pray (Lord), pray (Lord), maybe I'll pray
I've never believed in you, no, but I'm gonna...
Won't you call me?
Can we have a one-on-one, please?
Let's talk about freedom
Everyone prays in the end
Everyone prays in the end
Oh, won't you call me?
Can we have a one-on-one, please?
Let's talk about freedom
Everyone prays in the end
Everyone prays in the end
Oh, I'm gonna pray, I'm gonna pray, I'm gonna pray
Pray for a glimmer of hope
Maybe I'll pray, pray, maybe I'll pray
I've never believed in you, no, but I'm gonna pray

[@ktrax]

No dances, no special effects, no naked parts of the body... that's pure voice, that's pure music, that's pure art.. Thank you, Sam ❤

[@sirjerry_ley]

Pure Art, Pure Voice and feels...is gold this song.

[@aamodiniarya7137]

I am crying

[@smilealwaysnatasha3423]

Yet he wants to dance though and show skin

[@johasmejia9901]

I love it 😭😭♥♥♥

[@sailenthotcarathot8540]

What is this, some kind of jehova witnesses recruitment comment?

[@caffeinatednation8885]

Sam seems like the kind of person you could tell your darkest, deepest secret to and he would simply take your hand and tell you that everything will be fine and... it would.

[@preetikaur9185]

For real tho. He's so amazing

[@monastrand]

That is the most beautiful thing to say about someone

[@ivanCOMuK]

Seems but that is completely FALSE. We meet twice and we were close in 2018; however, without any explanation he start ignoring me, was so indifferent and not only with me but also with others fans who told me that they were ignored by Sam. At the end Sam was so cruel, locked me on Instagram and told others to be bad with me for no reason. Yes, he claims for equality but the truth is that he discriminate not only to me but also to many fans. He is real talented, ins undeniable, but, as a person, believe it or not, he is FAKE. PERIOD.

[@caffeinatednation8885]

@Samsmith 😐

[@Delijohn]

I think he would just tell you to PRAAA aaaa AAAA aaaa YYYYYYYYYY! 🙏

[@owaynembulaje3494]

those black church vocals...gives me goosebumps

[@Grace_Zandile97]

They compliment his voice so perfectly

[@Allexandra04]

I’d pray for him to sing for us another 50 years! He has one of the best voices of all time! ❤️❤️ Ps: those backing vocalists are wow! 👏🏻❤️

[@hippyable]

Shivers!

[@anngreen9772]

Sam's voice is AMAZING! The people in the world should take a llisten!! And STOP being so AWFUL!! There is nothing wrong with the world, it is the people the chose to be miserable and full of hate and violence. That's why hell even exist!! God knew. #Godbless you Sam!!

[@zenofficial8246]

[@ithinknot2694]

[@hippyable]

Awesome gentleman

[@haulian2468]

What a waste of wish

[@searefessahaye3554]

He sounds just like the record in person hope you will get a chance to hear his voice live Alexis.

[@cynthiamonroe9784]

Prayer is truly what ghetto yiu thru the most difficult of days in your life. Lately the world has been in turmoil, sickness’s, hatred, sadness, pain, etc...prayers are needed each and everyday. I’ve prayed everyday for everyone. This song is perfect. Thank you Sam.

[@birb8310]

Dear Sam, I know you probably don’t read your KZbin comments, but I wanted to let you know as a victim of the devastation caused by the Woolsey fire, this song has been my anchor. Thank you for reminding me how to pray honestly and soulfully. Pray for the community of Thousand Oaks. Pray for the community of Butte County. Pray for change. Pray for hope. Thank you

[@anidgomes2380]

🙏💖🇧🇷🙏

[@MatteoOrozcoRodriguez]

I hope Sam Smith reads it

[@tlaw192]

We all need God and prayer in a world where there is endless dis-unity and war. People are bad in nature, and need a redeemer. A saviour to save us all from ourselves.

His music was so beautiful, it’s sad to see him now

I find his humility very likeable and inspiring. Someone's sexual orientation should mean nothing when judging an artist, even less when you are of good character. One of the best vocalists ever, in my humble opinion.
