Let Us Pray

(álbum: Early Times - 1974)

I was walking down the road a carrying
The load that my father had a given me
The night before I packed and left the home
Of my childhood, home of my birth
The place in the back of the store
Where we would work
Until the night time darkness
Brought the end of day
Now, let us pray

When my brother was a kid
Well he often went and hid in the backyard
Setting at the feet of my father
And my mother would appear
Oh to sooth away the fear
That my father had a started
Pretty soon the trouble parted
And while sitting at the evening supper table
He'd say now let us pray!

Oh, pray for me burly

Now I travel all alone
A thinking of the home
That my mom and dad were given
In the times they were living
And the backyard swing and the happiness
Is bringing out a whole bunch of presents
For the holiday
Remember mom and daddy
Are living and it's time now to say
Let us pray

Our religion is music
