say your prayers
our father loves us all
say your prayers
and never tell a soul
she was young when she was there
she was always teacher’s pet
when they took her from her bed
she didn’t believe the things they said
she was smarter than the rest
they always told her she’s the best
she took the pain for all her sins
kept it deep inside her chest
say your prayers
our father loves us all
say your prayers
and never tell a soul
her father went away to war
they said her mother was a whore
wasn’t fit to raise her kids
took them away and shut the door
she believed her dad was best
kept his picture on her chest
when they told her he was dead
she didn’t believe the things they said
say your prayers
our father loves us all
say your prayers
and never tell a soul
say your prayers
our father loves us all
say your prayers
and never tell a soul
now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
if I should die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul to take
