Edward Sharpe And The Magnetic Zeros - I Don't Wanna Pray Lyrics






I love my god, god made love
I love my god, god made love
I love my god, god made hate
I love my god, god made hate
I love my god, god made good
I love my god, god made good
I love my god, god made bad
I love my god, god made me

But I don't wanna pray to my maker
I just wanna be what I see
Not just who I am, but the pink in golden land
And that wide wild sky over me
Help me to the sun, hey I'm looking everywhere
See I'm looking to become not the prayer, but the prayer
And now I don't wanna pray, no
I say I don't wanna pray, no
I don't wanna pray
I don't wanna pray

I love my god, god made love
I love my god, god made love
I love my god, god made good
I love my god, god made hate
I love my god, god made bad
I love my god, god made

I don't wanna pray to my maker
I just wanna be feelin' free
Not like in a book, or the leaves of trees that shook
From a word that means only not a thing
Pardon god and mom, what I'm sayin' isn't fair
See I'm looking to become, not the prayer but the prayer
And now I don't want to pray
I don't wanna pray
I don't wanna pray
Who don't wanna pray

Not much good to talk, better to walk it
Not much good to take, better to give
We are gone forgiven and forgotten of our sins
And I promise you my friend all that dies will live again
Pardon god and mom, what I'm sayin' isn't fair
See I'm looking to become, not the prayer but the prayer
And now I don't want to pray
I don't wanna pray
I don't wanna pray
Who don't wanna pray

I love my god, god made love
I love my god, god made love
I love my god, god made hate
I love my god, god made hate
I love my god, god made good
I love my god, god made good
I love my god, god made bad
I love my god, god made me

    💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

  3. D.... C....

    this is an amazing SONG! I can't believe I have never heard this one until NOW! JUST BEAUTIFUL and all the vocals are just FAB!!!

  4. R.... L....

    That woman back of him rocks😍

  5. s.... s....

    this video cleared my skin

  6. R.... M....

    I love these guys - so many good singers

  7. Q.... ....

    Just a bunch of people being happy... What's better than this!

  8. S.... ....

    Literally me when I need to pray the most lol
    I just absolutely love how genuine everyone felt about their versus. I think that's the most beautiful part about it all, God is good & lives in these people somehow. It's cool to know that eventhough these lovely folks may or may not be doing drugs, & other crazy stuff, it feels like God was still there with them. Idk how to explain it lol but this song is just so good. & these folks right here, helped my soul, while they were searching for theirs.

  9. E.... C....

    best band in the world!

  10. S.... G....

    Brilliant. Thank you for the brilliance

  11. J.... M....

    It's an irreverent spiritual...LOVE IT

  12. P.... F....

    Fucking Spiritual Maaaaan! ahahah. Loved it!

  13. b.... f....

    Well done....it is nice to see artists who realize that MANKIND IS NOT THE MEASURE OF ALL THINGS.

  14. K.... S....

    This made me smile like an idiot. Never wanted this video to end.

  15. M.... K....

    this band just feels like a sect. Music is alright but people really don't look happy to play together. So much bad vibes. Everytime I watch one of their videos I feel unconfortable

  16. B.... L....

    As in life, we have our own opinions. Everyone has the right to their own and this must be respected.

  17. J.... K....

    I get so sad every time this song ends

  18. L.... M....

    En quelque sorte cette chanson apporte de la joie 🌈

  19. j.... ....

    Trumpeter was amazing

  20. P.... W....

    Pure delight!

  21. N.... C....

    Please check out my original music https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TYNsgy54q1U

  22. U.... F....

    anthem of a reprobate. very grieving

  23. U.... E....

    Even though religious prayers sometimes are lacking intention, you can still put meaning into the religious prayer by willingly giving your time for it. If it’s important to you it will become meaningful.

  24. b.... C....

    Sound like agnostic

  25. K.... K....

    Not sure about this concept of not praying

  26. K.... D....

    <3 zakochałem się :D

  27. j.... ....

    Honestly this puts me in such a good mood

  28. L.... S....

    I love these folks. Just found em yesterday on Tiny Desk!

  29. V.... G....

    I love Sharpe but he has an everyman voice and it suits the group greatly BUT Jade Castrinos could really sing proper and I'll miss her.

  30. l.... G....

    muy bueno!!!

  31. B.... W....

    Give a tuba to the guy who plays the baritone horn, and there will be your Sound.

  32. s.... ....

    Damn the female vocalist has a really powerful and beautiful voice

  33. H.... B....

    I love my God, God made love
    I love my God, God made love
    I love my God, God made hate
    I love my God, God made hate
    I love my God, God made good
    I love my God, God made good
    I love my God, God made bad
    I love my God, God made me

    But I don't want to pray to my maker (No!)
    I just want to be what I see
    Not just who I am, but the pink and darling land
    With that wide, wild sky over me
    Help me to the sun, hey I'm lookin' everywhere,
    Hey I'm lookin' to become not the pray-er but the prayer
    And now I don't wanna pray (No!)
    I say I don't wanna pray (No!)
    Hey ah, I don't wanna pray
    Oh, who don't wanna pray?

    But still, I love my God, God made love
    I love my God, God made love
    I love my God, God made hate
    I love my God, God made hate
    I love my God, God made good
    I love my God, God made, god made, god made...

    But I don't want to pray to my maker (No!)
    I just want to be, feelin' free
    Not like in a book, or the leaves on trees that shook
    Or the words that mean only not a thing

    Say ah, pardon god and mom
    If what I'm sayin' isn't fair
    See I'm lookin' to become not the pray-er but the prayer
    And now I don't wanna pray (No!)
    I say I don't wanna pray (No!)
    Hey ah, I don't wanna pray
    Oh, who don't wanna pray?

    And it's alright to talk 'long as you walk it (Ohh!)
    It's alright take 'long as you give
    Someday we'll be forgiven and forgotten of our sins
    Either way I know for sure
    That we all will live again

    Say ah, pardon god and mom
    If what I'm sayin' isn't fair
    See I'm lookin' to become not the pray-er but the prayer
    And now I don't wanna pray (No!)
    I said I don't wanna pray (No!)
    Hey ah, I don't wanna pray
    Oh, who don't wanna pray?

    Who got a verse?
    Hey Sea bass you got one?

    I don't wanna pray to my maker (No!)
    Oh let me be of service, won't you please
    Not like greasy crooks or them thieves with smilin' looks
    I just wanna be a-helping if you need

    Now pardon god and mom
    If what I'm sayin' isn't fair
    See I'm lookin' to become not the pray-er but the prayer
    And now I don't wanna pray (No!)
    I said I don't wanna pray (No!)
    Hey ah, I don't wanna pray
    Oh, who don't wanna pray?

    Alright Seth, you said you had a verse last night

    Now God ain't on a cloud way high above me (Woah!)
    God is in the earth and in the land
    And I'm not sure if I would
    But I think that God is good when I'm playin' with this ever-lovin' band

    Say ah, pardon god and mom
    If what I'm sayin' isn't fair
    Hey I'm lookin' to become not the pray-er but the prayer
    And I, I don't wanna pray (No!)
    I said I don't wanna pray (No!)
    Hey ah, I don't wanna pray
    Oh, who don't wanna pray?

    Alright now Mark, speak up now. You must have one.

    Well I've seen her in the ocean, (oh!)
    And I felt her in the breeze
    But I don't feel the need to get down on my knees
    And pray for everything that you believe

    Ah, pardon god and mom
    If what I'm sayin' isn't fair
    Hey I'm lookin' to become not the pray-er but the prayer
    And I, I don't wanna pray (No!)
    I say I don't wanna pray (No!)
    Hey ah, I don't wanna pray
    Oh, who don't wanna pray?

    Christian, you wanna get in here?

    When I was a boy, my daddy made me (Go!)
    Read a story to him every night
    Said to me my son,
    Guess you're gonna have to run
    And it turned that he was pretty right

    Say ah, pardon god and mom
    If what I'm sayin' isn't fair
    Hey I'm lookin' to become not the pray-er but the prayer
    And now, I don't wanna pray (No!)
    I say I don't wanna pray (No!)
    Hey ah, I don't wanna pray
    Oh, who don't wanna pray?

    Alright,
    But still,

    I love my God, God made love
    I love my God, God made love
    I love my God, God made hate
    I love my God, God made hate
    I love my God, God made good
    I love my God, God made good
    I love my God, God made bad
    I love my God, God made me

    I m not sure about "Crash" lyrics, UbiSergeiil wrote ;

    I don't wanna pray to my maker
    Whenever it'll be service or to please
    Not like greasy crook with all him beef, and smile, and look
    I just want to be of help if you need

    but it sounds more like ;

    I don't wanna pray to my maker
    Whenever it'll be service won't you please
    Not like greasy crook so them people smile and look
    I just wanna be a help and if you need

    Somebody knows????

    S.... ....

    I believe it's

    "I don't wanna pray to my maker
    Oh let me be of service won't you please
    Not like greasy crooks or them thieving smilin' looks
    I just wanna be a helpin' if you need"

    S.... ....

    yes it sounds good but i think not 100% correct no?

    "Not like greasy crooks so them thieving smile and look" no?

  82. R.... L....

    jade is great but she didn't make up the magnetic zeroes...they will go without her ..this band is very inspiring and bring the talents from every member.

    C.... J....

    +kellowjo Disagree. There is so much natural flow and good vibes in this version. The studio version is good but this is much better.

    C.... J....

    +kellowjo I don't think they're bored, they're just feeling the groove
