Lyrics

For you I am praying
For you I am praying
For you I am praying
I'm praying for you
Daddy never went to church on Sunday
He said that's one thing I'll never do
Mama never gave up she said one day
He'll be sitting here beside me and you
I can still hear Mama softly talking
Her tears falling on her folded hands
So that Easter Sunday Daddy walked
That's when I began to understand
When Mama prayed, good things happened
When Mama prayed, lives were changed
Not much more than five foot tall
But mountains big and small
Crumbled all the way when Mama prayed
Seventeen and wild I hit the bottom
Doing and thing I dang well please
Burning down life's highway at full throttle
While Mama burned a candle on her knees
Then one night I came home half sober
I saw Mama kneeling in the den
As I listened, she and Jesus talked it over
And I knew my restless days were 'bout to end
It isn't like every one of them got answered
But the times they weren't seems to me were rare
You almost felt sorry for the devil
Cause heaven knows he didn't have prayer
When Mama prayed
Not much more than five foot tall
But mountains big and small
Crumbled all the way when Mama prayed
Crumbled all the way when Mama prayed
