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 as the knelt beside their beds
And we could here 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 angels guarded through the harder days
'Cause mama prayed and Daddy prayed

Now the boys are grown and raising boys of their own
In a world a little 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 prayed and Jesus stood beside us
Daddy prayed and the devil had to run
God looked downd and his angels guarded through the harder days
'Cause mama prayed and Daddy prayed

And Jesus stands beside me
Mama prays and the devil has to run
God looks down and the angels guard us through the harder days
'Cause Mama prays and Daddy prays
