Somebody Said A Prayer
Just a single mom raisin' her kids
Little Tommy's seven and her daughter, Justine, just turned ten
Pinchin' every cent
Laughin' and lovin and content
You would never think a couple years ago
She almost let her job, her kids, her mind, her life go up in smoke
But right there on the edge right before the fall

Chorus: Somebody said a prayer
Somebody had some faith
Somebody hit their knees and asked for help, for heaven's sake
Somebody finally found
Someone who really cares
Somebody said a prayer

He was seventeen and his heart was broke
The middle of the night
A bottle full of pills
And a goodbye note
Sittin' on his bed but then he bowed his head
Now I see him every week and every now and then
He talks about that night and the peace that came over him
Talk about a sermon, can I get amen
Up there with tears on his face he said look what happened, Lord

Repeat Chorus Twice

Can I get an amen
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
Somebody said a prayer
