Simple Prayer II Songtext
von Bruce Hornsby

Dad used to have mom′s picture
An angel from a scripture
Snapped right before God picked her
And floating without care

Her eyes still drive me crazy
And I see them in our baby
Maybe smilin' eyes will save me
That′s my simple prayer

Before daddy left us
A vow to not forget us
Mom just made me breakfast
Never mentioned it, I swear


A single mom's solution
Through guilt our love is proven
He'll eat up absolution
That′s my simple prayer

A modern workin′ mother
I thought I would discover
How best not to hover
And give my family air

But chicks need momma's breast
Until they pass a life test
Please, don′t fall from my nest
That's my simple prayer

Back when I had someone
But life has pulled a fast one
This might cost me our son
It′s a nightmare


I'm afraid she will blame me
If he′s not back home safely
Please nothing more to shame me
That's my simple prayer
