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
Seems like he's watchin' ever'time I do something
I wish I wouldn't have done
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
