She Prays

She Prays – Lyrics

she makes a dollar a day
has to feed her kids at night
makes her own clothes
daddy won’t help at all
he says she’s on her own
mama says she’s so ashamed
she was pregnant at 16
raised to believe it’s a sin
the kids sometimes ask
where their daddy is
he won’t be coming home tonight
no, not tonight

Chorus:
but she fights
hopes that the angels will hear her cry
she never gives up hope for a better day
and so she prays

she bikes to work everyday
the kids have to walk themselves to school
everything will be fine
they know that’s a lie
just want to be whole again
Christmas won’t be the same
no present under the tree
they’ll have to make do without
maybe daddy will come home this time
or not cause he has a new wife
when does the nightmare end

Chorus

and she prays
and she prays
she prays

Chorus

she prays
