This gospel-tinged body of work features Töme singing over warm guitar riffs in English on the original song, in French on a remix, and trading verses with Sean Kingston on another remix with a distinct spry patois cadence that accentuates her flow and makes her case more sturdy and resonant.
“Tome is an incredibly unique artist with a beautiful voice, I really vibed with this song and I respect the fact that she is an independent Afro artist on the rise. I’m happy to be a part of a record the world truly needs right now” – Sean Kingston
Nobody who has lived through 2020 will be immune to I Pray’s charms, how it soothes and washes over the knots of worries that can seem omnipresent. It also shows Töme in a new light: as the singer who refuses to be one thing, giving into new plains of her artistry and creating a song for the time.

Lyric Video
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Gun man wanna knock me down
Cmon man come and shoot me now
You wish that you could take my sight
You are asking me to catch a flight
I said no
No fighting, no cussing, no war
Just love and affection for all
When you come around
Lift my spirits off or you can take a bow
Oh
I’m on my knees and I pray
Crying lord
Have mercy on me today
Don’t let him break me down
Knock my demons off
Don’t let him shake me now
Put my pride side and let God
Lead me now
Pour a glass of wine and let God
Lead me now
Watch my sins drown
