Lyrics Sara Groves

Sara Groves

Say A Prayer

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
