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'd drop 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 called my name Brought tears to my eyes, my heart filled with shame 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 hadn't noticed a church that was near 'Til the sound from within seemed 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 there on their knees Praying Praying for someone like me They were praying Praying for someone like me
