Lyrics
VERSE1
Lord, I remember
like it was yesterday
The first time I saw
my daddy pray
Kept my eyes open
enough to see
What he was doing in church
on his knees
CHORUS1
I knelt next to him
while he was prayin'
I tried but couldn't hear
what he was sayin'
I saw his tears and wondered
why it hurt
When I's a kid, Lord
a LITTLE BOY IN CHURCH
VERSE2
Now I'm a father,
Lord, you gave me a son
Las night he said Daddy
is drinking fun
I'm so afraid
He's gonna be like me
I'm back here, in church
on my knees
CHORUS2
He's kneelin' next to me
while I am prayin'
He's tryin', but can't hear
what I am sayin'
He see's my tears, and wonders
why it hurts
He's a kid, Lord
a LITTLE BOY IN CHURCH
BRIDGE
Little boys needs a father
to show them the way
So keep their eyes open, Lord
when their daddies pray...
REPEAT CHORUS2
TAG
He's a kid, Lord,
a LITTLE BOY IN CHURCH
