Prayers went on but it never came down
Prayers went on but it never came down
Prayers went on but it never came down
Prayers went on but it never came down
Prayers went on but it never came down
Prayers went on but it never came down
My memories of my brothers and me
Make me marvel at the way the years went by
Here we are, how'd we ever get this far?
I wonder how, and I wonder why
Then I recall what these boys often saw
When we would stop to look at mom and daddy's door
They'd bow their heads while they knelt beside their bed
And we could hear them lift our names before the Lord
