I heard you pray
Outside of my bedroom door
Your prayers said
Everything I never did
I can't remember
The last time
I prayed
For you
Oh you
You carried five kids on your shoulder
You carried their kids when they grew older
I know your husband left you, early on
He passed away, his love and care
No, I never saw him
But I carry his name
And I can't do anything
But write songs
I am terrible, terrible, person
God knows
The only good
Thing i could do
Is write you
These songs
You carried five kids on your shoulder
You carried their kids when they grew older
