Nkiru Cherie - Ancestors Lyrics

Pray! Pray?
That's where your help comes from
That's where your blessings come from
That's right
Is that what helped you live to be ninety-four?
Yeah
Yeah, just praying?
Ye-yeah
And staying out drama?
Yeah un huh
Keeping out of drama and keeping prayed up
Yeah
One day
A long time ago
You choose me to be yours
And I chose the same thing so
One day
After a long time had past
You visit me and in our communication
You told me that we'd be connected at last
You decided to guide me on this journey I call life
You decided to help me learn the best things to do right
You decided to keep me from harms way
And you do it every day
And I just wanted to pause and say
You're my ancestors and I bow before you
Live again stand proud and true
Proud and true
You're my ancestors wouldn't be who I am without you
Live again through the things I do
Things I do
I hope when you look down at me I make you proud
I take advantage of all you allowed
And keep all of my vows
I hope when you look at me you say I went all the way
That there was no challenge I can't slay
Make you prouder each and every day
Sometimes I find myself looking up to the sky
And sometimes
I ask why
And sometimes I just cry
Then I stop and think about it a little bit longer
My heart just gets stronger
I know I'll never be alone any longer
You're my ancestors and I bow before you
Live again stand proud and true
Proud and true
You're my ancestors wouldn't be who I am without you
Live again through the things I do
Things I do
