She can't make him lay that bottle down

Try and turn his life around

Talk to her preacher or go and get some help



She could never leave him

She knows that that would kill him

But she can't save someone

Who don't want to save themselves



But she can say a prayer

Someone is always listening

A few words here and there



Can make a mighty difference

For heaven sakes she can't make

That mountain disappear into the air

But she can say a prayer



Football team all shave their heads

Just so they would look like them

Put on their jerseys and ease into his room



They all joined hands around his bed

Close their eyes and bowed their head

They can't put him back in the game

Or bring him back to school



But they can say a prayer

Someone is always listening

A few words here and there



Can make a mighty difference

For Heaven sakes those kids can't make

That mountain disappear into the air

But they can say a prayer



We might stop a war, cure one disease

Keep one kid off the street

If we take the time to get down on our knees



And say a prayer

Someone is always listening

A few words here and there

Can make a mighty difference



For heaven sakes we can't make lives

Mountain disappear into the air

But we can say a prayer
