Don't always know all the answers
When people say I've gone astray
Don't always know what I'm doin' half the time
Makin' a mess every dayAnd yet, my lips recall what I can do when I feel smallI still find comfort in these words
In the voice in the southern night sky
And the words that I learned help me out when I've burned
Every bridge in this pitiful lifeAnd I don't understand all the meanings
And I don't always know what to say
But I'm only sixteen and I think I believe
I can still find my way
Oh - I still prayWhen folks say I'm lost and won't amount to much
I think of how Momma would pray
Believin' that somebody's listn'in' above
That someone is guidin' the wayMy tears still recall, all that she taught, when I was smallI still find comfort in these words
In this voice in the southern night sky
And the words that I learned help me out when I've burned
Every bridge in this pitiful lifeAnd I don't understand all the meanings
And I don't always know what to say
But I'm only sixteen and I think I believe
I can still find my way
Oh - I still prayWords comin' back to my mind
Brought to my knees in the darkness
Words leadin' me to the light
Seeds that Momma had sown
Are all the hope that I've known
They tell me I'm not aloneI still find comfort in these words
In that voice in the southern night sky
And the words that I learned help me out when I've burned
Every bridge in this pitiful lifeAnd I don't understand all the meanings
And I don't always know what to say
But I'm only sixteen and I think I believe
I can still find my wayI still find comfort in these words
In His voice in the southern night sky
And the words that I learned help me out when I've burned
Every bridge in this pitiful lifeAnd I don't understand all the meanings
And I don't always know what to say
But I'm only sixteen and I think I believe
I can still find my way
Oh - I still prayOh - I still pray
