Mama Prays
My memories of my brothers and me
Make me marvel at the way the years went by
Here we are how'd we ever get this far
I wonder how, and I wonder why.
Then I recall what these boys often saw
When we would stop to look in Mom and Daddy's door
They'd bow their heads while they knelt beside their bed
And we could hear them lift our names before the Lord
Mama Prayed and Jesus stood beside us
Daddy Prayed and the devil had to run
God looked down, and His angle guarded through the harder days
'Cause Mama prayed and Daddy prayed
Now the boys are grown raising boys of their own
In a world darker than before
But the prayers go on every night and every dawn
Cause they still bow and lift our names before the Lord
Mama prays and Jesus stands beside us
Daddy prays and the devil has to run
God look down and His angles guard us through the harder days
'Cause Mama prays and Daddy prays
And Jesus stands beside me
Mama prays and the devil has to run
God looks down and the angles guard me through the harder days
'Cause Mama prays and Daddy prays
