BRIAN MCKNIGHT - My Prayer lyrics

rate me

I have been so far away

Counting the time until today

So long I've waited for a chance

When I could spend some time with you

Just with you

You are growing so very fast

And I know I'm always the very last, oh

To help you with a problem

To kiss your hurt if you should happen to fall down

Fall down

But when I'm gone

I need you here to carry on

My son I know you will be strong

Like a burning flame

You're my claim

That's why you've got my name

And just to show

Come what may I love you so

And there will come a day

When all that's mine is yours

To take good care of you and yours I swear

I swear

And this is my prayer

Oh, yes

When I look at you, so hard to believe

You're the younger version of older me

I swear

I swear

And this is my prayer

Oh Lord, this is my prayer
