say your prayers
Select language to translate this lyric
My daddy showed me how to fold my hands
My mama taught me what to say
They told me to kneel down beside my bed
And pray
I asked them who I was talking to
How did they know that he could hear
They kissed me softly on the forehead, they said,
ÂJust say your prayers,Â
Say your prayersÂu0085
I wandered far from those gentle hills
Where the corn grew in even rows
I asked questions of the world
With answers no one knows
Say your prayersÂu0085
IÂm headed back to my homeland now
IÂm leaving my restlessness behind
I donÂt know how theyÂll greet me there
I donÂt know what I will find
Say your prayersÂu0085
