The Prayer

(альбом: Green - 2017)

Fold your hands, bow your heads
There's an old time saying that's being said
There's a lesson to learn and a lot to see
There's nothing more important than your family
Don't forget that boy
When you're off on your own
You got the same last name
And your mama loves you so

There's an old crow flying 'cross this fence line
Just flapping his wings and wasting time
Well what I would do if I could soar
Well this town might not see me anymore
What's the fun in that?
Where's a bird to go?
It's a manmade world
This is all he knows

Spread my wings, liftoff now
Leaving solid ground
Think of me floating in the air
Like a shuttle in the atmosphere
Hold me close, love me right
See me burning through the night
Like a bird in flight
Like a bird in flight

You won't always know right from wrong
It's just something you learn just like singing a song
Well I'm trying to do the best I can
While learning to love and act like a man

Dear father protect this land
Bless my children, amen

Spread my wings, liftoff now
Leaving solid ground
Think of me floating in the air
Like a shuttle in the atmosphere
Hold me close, love me right
See me burning through the night
Like a bird in flight
Like a bird in flight

Fold your hands, bow your heads
Dear father protect this land
Bless my children, amen
