Lyrics
A MOTHER'S PRAYER
VERSE
AS THEY BOTH WALKED DOWN, TO THE STATION
HUGGED EACH OTHER, KISSED AND SAID GOODBYE
TEARS SHE COULD NO LONGER HOLD BACK FROM CRYING
I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART, WAS HER REPLY
VERSE
SHE SAID, I KNOW YOUR DAD WOULD BE PROUD OF YOU
TO FIGHT FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE IS RIGHT
STANDING BY THE GOOD OLE, RED WHITE AND BLUE
LIKE SOLDIERS GUARDING FREEDOM'S LIGHT
(CHORUS)
SHE PRAYED LORD WATCH OVER OUR SON TODAY
AND JUST KEEP HIS FIGHTING SPIRITS HIGH
GUIDE HIS EVERY STEP ALONG THE WAY
WATCH OVER OUR SOLDIER BOY TONIGHT
VERSE
I WATCHED THE TRAIN PULLOUT FROM THE DEPOT
HIS MOTHER WAS STILL WALKING ALONG SIDE
SHE RAISED HER HAND AND POINTED TO STEEPLE
AS IF TO SAY THE LORD WILL BE YOUR GUIDE
(CHORUS)
SHE PRAYED LORD WATCH OVER OUR SON TODAY
AND JUST KEEP HIS FIGHTING SPIRITS HIGH
GUIDE HIS EVERY STEP ALONG THE WAY
WATCH OVER OUR SOLDIER BOY TONIGHT
WATCH OVER OUR SOLDIER BOY TONIGHT
