say a prayer

Sara Groves

Childhood runs across the meadow
Taken in the night
Told it will be working
In the city for a while

Staring from the windows
Leaning in the door
Flickering like a candle
Lying on the floor

Refrão:
Say a prayer, say a prayer
In the night
Say a prayer, say a prayer
In the night

Childhood working with your papa
Chained to your mom
This is all you live for
Debts that linger on

Bearing all the glory
Bearing all the weight
Knowledge of such hardship
At such a tender age

(Refrão)
