Praying

Praying Praying for someone like me Not long ago I was thinking of home And I wondered if mama Was there all alone I thought I dropped by Like I've done before But the sound from within Made me stop at the door She was praying A sound that the world seldom hears Praying Her words were pleading and clear The sound of her voice, As she call my name Brought tears to my eyes My heart felt ashamed Praying Praying for someone like me I was walking one night And I felt so alone My heart was weary from the troubles I've known I had noticed a church that was near 'Till the sound from within Seem to fill the air They were praying A sound that the world seldom hears Praying The children that God loves so dear Outside in the darkness I could not see But I could picture them they're on their knees Praying Praying for someone like me They were praying Praying for someone like me
