Sara Groves - Say a Prayer Lyrics

Childhood runs across the meadow
Taken in the night
Told that we'll be working
In the city for a while

Staring from the windows
Leaning in the door
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 your mom
This is all you lived 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, say a prayer in the night
Say a prayer, say a prayer in the night

Say a prayer, say a prayer in the night
Say a prayer, say a prayer in the night
