Mama's Prayers Lyrics - Balls - Elizabeth Cook

I'm not in the hall of fame 

I'm not on the wall of shame 

I guess you'll find me in between somewhere 

things go right and things go wrong 

sometimes you hear me sing a song 

but you'll always find me in my mama's prayers 

sure as the skies will turn dark 

at the end of the day 

the angels must count 

on what she's going to say 

and I know I'm at least one of five other names 

when I'm down and think nobody cares 

I remember that I'm in my mama's prayers 

not everybody has a mom 

and no one does for very long 

and I used to think "well, lord that's just not fair." 

but I believe the words are for always 

and they won't end with today's 

and I'm grateful to be in my mama's prayers 

sure as the skies will turn dark 

at the end of the day 

the angels must count 

on what she's going to say 

and I know I'm at least one of five other names 

when I'm down and think nobody cares 

I remember that I'm in my mama's prayers 

I don't always know what to believe 

and I don't always know everything I need 

but faithfully my name is called each night 

by quilted bedside 

and the devil may come seek me on a dare 

he'll be up against my mama's prayers 

when I'm down and think nobody cares 

I remember I'm in my mama's prayers
