Vern Gosdin - Praying текст песни

They were prayin'

Prayin' for someone like me



Not long ago, I was thinkin' of home

And I wondered if Mama was there all alone

I thought I'd drop by, as I had before

But the sound from within made me stop at the door



She was prayin', a sound that the world seldom hears

Prayin' her words were pleading and clear

The sound of her voice, as she spoke my name

Brought tears to my eyes, my heart filled with shame

She was prayin', prayin' for someone like me




Walkin' one night, I felt so alone

My heart was so heavy from the trouble I've known

I hadn't noticed, a church that was near

'Til the sound from within seem to fill the air



They were prayin', a sound that the world seldom hears

Prayin', the children that God loves so dear

Outside in the darkness, I could not see

But I could picture them down on their knees

Prayin', prayin' for someone like me
