desmond michael - in the land of the lost + the light lyrics

(part 1: in the land of the lost)

(hook: desmond michael)
wake up and see
darkness round me
stuck in the land
the land of the lost
souls long gone
what is the cost
stuck in the land
land of the lost

(verse: desmond michael)
i keep seeing cycles, keep turning
keep on turning me around
stuck in the land of the lost
and i can’t be found
try to make a difference, try to make a change
every place i turn it just seems the same
i see people dying, no lie i’m trying
not to start crying but suddenly now i can’t breathe
i can see the light i can see the light
should i go towards it, holding on for life

(hook: dеsmond michael)
wake up and see
darkness round mе
stuck in the land
the land of the lost
souls long gone
what is the cost
stuck in the land
land of the lost
(verse: desmond michael)
pray for the brothers that died too young
pray for the mothers who lost they sons
pray for the sisters stuck in a rut
with nowhere to turn and nowhere to run
i think about how they live everyday
never fully knowing if it is the last day
thinking to myself there’s gotta be a better way
knowing we can shine as bright as a sun ray
turned down, turned away cause of my black skin
get angrier and angrier keeps trying again
no matter where i go i can’t get a win
just a data point on fox or cnn
just like so many before, fallen soldiers on the road
so many come and gone, what’s leftover is lost

(refrain: desmond michael)
pray for the lost (pray+pray for the lost)
pray for the lost (pray+pray for the lost)
pray for the lost (pray+pray for the lost)
pray for the lost (pray+pray for the lost)
pray for the lost (pray+pray for the lost)
pray for the lost (pray+pray for the lost)
pray for the lost (pray+pray for the lost)
(pray+pray for the lost)

(bridge: desmond michael)
i wanted a revolution, humanity evolution
i wanted to rewrite the constitution, make a new substitution
every time i step outside, man, i’m afraid of execution
i can barely breathe and it’s not because of air pollution
i need to get a higher perspective
look back at life, retrospective
im trying to get introspective, so i can start to live son
i don’t wanna die with no fun, temple pressed against a gun
then i’m done

(interlude: charity reid)
dont let them stop your shine. go. go towards your light

(part 2: the light)

(verse: desmond michael)
i try to always be better than me
hoping one day the world accepts me
treat me like human, like a friend, like kin
they just can’t seem to see the light under the skin
swimming all alone in the dark
ignoring the voices, trynna follow my heart
then i hear a voice, like love from above
piercing as a siren but soft as a dove
and she says…
(verse: charity reid)
boy you seem so lost
give your all, but tell at what cost
you give way too much of yourself
what happens when you have none left

(verse: desmond michael)
life a rodeo, but never catch me falling off
i’m here at my lowest so i’m calling out
is there anyone out there who can help me find
the light deep inside, so i can go shine

(verse: charity reid)
we all want to be loved that’s right
don’t you see the love by your side
your soul needs peace in time
take my hand i’ll show you the shine

(verse: desmond michael)
i think i see it now, the point where it all cl!cks
the reason why we sing, our voices we lift
let heaven and earth become one on this day
i see my shine, won’t let go away

(verse: desmond michael)
back to the playground, them preschool doors
i learned very early on, this is a cruel cruel world
my mamma soul dropped when her baby boy first said that word
what it mean to be called a n+gga, i was barley even four
forced upon me like the chains and whips, they jump off private ships
now i’m coppin chains and whips, cursing on private ships
speed the 110 like a sp+ce ship through wakanda and sh+t
i’ll be back since they keep on wanting to talk all that sh+t
they all wanna be black, but they don’t wanna be black
they take my culture, make a profit, and then sell it right back
these crackers got a loaded shotgun aimed directly at my chest
even with the trauma, every n+gga is blessed, brother we blessed
spent my life looking to my behind
just gotta find your light, i think i finally found mine
like kendrick said, i think we gone be alright
this des mike, the realest n+gga walking towards the light

(hook: charity reid)
i found my light, my light, my light
i found my light, my light, my light
i shine, i shine, i shine

(verse: charity reid & desmond michael)
look at the way i drip honey, queen bee
and i stand above, like a king should be
natural and nurtured, i smell like nag champa
mess with my royal family, and meet my choppa
mansa musa the richest man to ever live
i got his spirit, know my money never, never ends
the ancestors celebrate as we pave the way
for the next generation to shine everyday, cuz

(hook: charity reid)
i found my light, my light, my light
i found my light, my light, my light
some soul music gonna get my mind right
i shine, i shine, i shine
