devotion[美籍菲律賓裔組成樂隊]Devotion成立於1997年，是由五個來自美國加州橘子郡的小伙子在1997年組建的樂隊，樂隊在2000年2月推出了第一張專輯《Image Of Devotion》，歌曲My prayer就是出自這張專輯。而其中的單曲When I與Talking 2 U在美國的亞裔市場取得了轟動的效應，使得Devotion樂隊成功晉身為美國三大亞裔樂隊之一（另外兩支為Kai與One Voice）。

專輯簡介
When I單曲的銷售量在北卡地區登頂。之後，他們進行了一次“Image of Devotion”之旅，在聖地亞哥、洛杉磯、舊金山、西雅圖、多倫多、芝加哥、紐約、休斯敦和拉斯維加斯等地巡迴演出。之後，在2002年Devotion與菲律賓唱片公司Viva簽約，在2003年7月，他們推出了另一張專輯《Devotion》，這張專輯共收錄14首歌，其中有12首由他們自己創作。其中，單曲“So Wonderful”在電台播出後反響非常強烈，被收錄進菲律賓電影《Walang Kapalit》做電影音樂。期間，他們在MTV Asia上亮過相，2004年，Devotion重新回到美國加入jE唱片公司開始新的歌曲創作。
我想告訴大家的是，Image Of Devotion中不只是只有My Prayer一首好歌，Devotion5位成員都相當有實力，歌曲無論從配樂到和聲的處理，從歌詞到旋律都十分精緻，完美，這張完美的專輯為何未造成很大的反響，實在讓人不解。聽聽吧，以Devotion的話說，他們的音樂是Soul Music——觸及靈魂的歌曲，來自Devotion的演唱。

My Prayer（我的祈禱）
一個痴情地用一生等待著真愛的男子，為了自己和愛的人向上帝的祈禱，沒有比這首歌更浪漫的表白曲了。
“Dear god:
敬愛的神:
I know that she's out there...
the one I’m suppose to share my whole life with.
她，那個我想要與她共度一生的人， 雖然不在這裡……
And in time...you'll show her to me.
但是我相信，某個時候， 你將會讓我見到她。
Will you take care of her,
能不能好好照顧她，
comfort her,
讓她過得舒適，
and protect her...
還要佑護她……
until that day we meet.
直到我們見面的那一天
And let her know...
還有，讓她知道……
my heart...is beating with hers
我的心……為她而存
In a dream I hold you close
在夢裡我常常夢到把你緊緊抱住
Embracing you with my hands
用手將你擁入懷中
You gazed at me with eyes full of love
你用充滿愛意的眼神凝視我。
And made me understand
這讓我明白了
That I was meant to share it with you，My heart my mind my soul
我真的願意全心全意的和你分享一切，
Then I open my eyes
然而當我睜開眼睛，
And all I see reality shows I’m alone
看到的卻是我還是孤單一人。
But I know someday that you’ll be by my side
但我知道總有一天你會出現在我身邊，
Cause I know god’s just waiting till the time is right
因為上帝正在安排這個對的時間。
God will you keep her safe from the thunderstorm
上帝你能不能讓她平安，遠離風暴；
When the day’s cold will you keep her warm
當天氣寒冷，你能不能讓她溫暖。
When the darkness falls will you please shine her the way
當黑暗降臨，你能不能照亮她的路
God will you let her know that I love her so
上帝你能不能讓她知道我如此愛她；
When there's no one there that she’s not alone
讓她知道即使世界上沒有其他人，她也不會孤單；
Just close her eyes and let her know
讓她知道只要她閉上眼睛，
My heart is beating with hers
她就會知道我的心為她存在。
So I pray until that day (pray until that day)
我祈禱那天能出現，
When our hearts will beat as one
我們感受到彼此的心在同時跳動。
(when our hearts hearts will beat as one)
I will wait so patiently (patiently)
我會一直耐心的等待，
For that day to come (for that day to come)
只為這一天的來臨。

When theres no one there that she’s’ not alone
Just close her eyes and let her know

It’s beating with hers

Another Day(另一天)
Only hours have gone by
時間悄悄地走過
And yet a flood of tears
帶走得卻是無盡的淚水
I've cried struggling with fear
我痛哭著，被恐懼縈繞
And now i'm losing you
知道，我正在失去你
I'm torn inside
內心支離破碎，因為
And i've been so blind
從前被假象蒙蔽的雙眼
Cause i never quite
卻終於看得清清楚楚
Believed that you would want to leave
你已經鐵了心要離開
Must we let this night an end
要不今晚就做個了結
With broken hearts unmend
不必在意已經破碎的心
From hurtful words, selfishly said
但是一些傷人的字句，我還想自私地提及：
Let's not go another day
我們別再糾纏到另一天
Having such burdens in our hearts
別讓我們的心背負這樣的傷痛
With these tears falling from our eyes
看著我們的眼淚不停地墜落
Can we just swallow our pride
為何擺脫不了那虛假的自尊
Let's not go another day
我們別再糾纏到另一天
And have the pain inside remain
別再把傷痛埋藏心底
Should the next morning sun arise
祈禱另一天的太陽升起的時候
I want you by my side
你出現在了我的身邊
Only silence filled the room day by day
一天又一天，只有沉默浸沒這房間
Living like strangers without words to say
我們像陌生人般，無話可言
We've gone on far too long to live like this
一錯再錯，越走越遠
Our lips are sealed in what we feel
將自己的感受埋葬
afraid of letting it go
因為害怕，害怕它一去而不復返
Pride wanting us to go
那自尊又在叫囂著讓我們分離
And walk straight out of that door
只是從那扇門徑直走出那么簡單
I want to know...i want to know
但是我想知道，我想知道
Do you love me any more
你還在不在意我
（重複高潮部分）
Why do we spend each night in pain and lonliness
每個晚上我們為何只剩痛苦與孤獨相伴
Please tell me why do we let this carry on
告訴我，為什麼要繼續堅持
Let's not go another day
(let's not go another day)
And have the pain inside remain
(can't let this be you mean the world to me)
不能順其下去，因為你是我的全部
Should the next morning sun arise
I want you by my side (i want you by my side)
(let's put it behind, all the hurting inside)
讓我們捨棄那受傷的靈魂吧
Let's not go another day
(let's not go another day)
Having such burdens in our hearts
(so why don't we try to stop the tears from our eyes)
讓我們止住那不停下墜的淚水吧
Falling from our eyes
(cause i want you by my side)
Swallow my pride
(swallow my pride, i'm dying inside)
我放下那虛假的自尊，為你不顧一切
Let's not go another day
(let's not go another day)
Have the pain inside remain
(Can't let this be you mean the world to me)
不能讓愛情死去，因為你是我的全部
Should the next morning sun arise
(cause i want you by my side)
I want you by my side
