The Petal Falls - Say A Prayer Lyrics

I watched my momma suffer
At the hands of a violent man
She withered like a flower
Buried in the sand
I remember those fists
How they would rain down on you
I remember screaming
As he beat you
How he beat you
He beat you black and blue

Say a prayer for momma
Say a prayer
Say a prayer for me
Say a prayer
In the eyes of the innocent
Say a prayer
I watched the guilty go free

You can't stand in the rage of a hurricane
You gotta bend like a read in the wind
I never told you I loved you momma
God forgive, god forgive me
God forgive me

Say a prayer for momma
Say a prayer
Say a prayer for me
Say a prayer
Through the eyes of the innocent
Say a prayer
I watched the guilty go free
And say a prayer for momma
Say a prayer
Say a prayer for me
Say a prayer
Through the eyes of the innocent
Say a prayer
I watched the guilty go free

And I was just a child
But I remember your smile
How you shone in my eyes
You were special to me
Why do the innocent pay
Each and every day
How you shone in my eyes
You were special to me
Ooh ooh ooh oh
You cant stand in the rage of a hurricane
Ooh ooh ooh oh
You gotta bend like a read in the wind

Say a prayer for momma
Say a prayer
Say a prayer for me
Say a prayer
In the eyes of the innocent
Say a prayer
The guilty go free
Say a prayer
Say a prayer
Say a prayer
Say a prayer
Say a prayer for momma
Say a prayer
Say a prayer for me
Say a prayer
Say a prayer
Say a prayer
Say a prayer
Say a prayer for innocent
Say a prayer
Say a prayer for me
