Childhood runs across the meadow, taken in the night 
Told that you'll be working in the city for a while 

It's peering from the windows it's leaning in the doorway 
Flickering like a candle lying on the floor 

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 you 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 

Say a prayer
