They were prayin', prayin' for someone like me
verse 1
Not long ago, I was thinkin' of home
And I wondered if Mama was there all a- lone
I thought I'd drop by, as I had be- fore
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
Bridge 1
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
Instrumental
verse 2
Walkin' one night, I felt so a- lone
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
Bridge 2
Out- side in the darkness, I could not see
But I could picture them down on their knees
Prayin', prayin' for someone like me
