Childhood runs across the meadow, taken in the night
told that you'll be working in the city for a while
It 's peering from the windows it's leaning in the doorway
flickering like a candle lying on the floor
Say a prayer, say a prayer in the night
Say a prayer, say a prayer in the night
childhood working with your papa chained to you mom
this is all you live for
debts that linger on
bearing all the glory, bearing all the weight
knowledge of such hardship
at such a tender age
Say a prayer
