Things I Prayed For Songtext
von eLi

Things I prayed for when I was young
That my father would love me like his only son
That my mother would be patient with me
That my sister would not leave

And if my grandpa could see me beyond his grave
That he′d think his little man was so brave
That my hair would not stick up in weird places
And I'd be someone someday

Years go by so easily that sometimes I forget
Years go by and make me see that there′s no time for my regrets
No time for my regrets

Things I prayed for in my teens
That God would forgive all my evil deeds
That my father and my sister would come home
And mom could meet our needs

And if my grandpa could see me beyond his grave
That he'd say a prayer for his family's sake
That my hair would stick up in weird places
And I′d be someone someday


Years go by so easily that sometimes I forget
Years go by and make me see that there′s no time for my regrets
No time for my regrets

Things I pray for now in my twenties
That God would still love me
That my dad would like his new family
That I could hug my sister
That my mom could rest
That my wife would still melt every time we kiss

And if my grandpa has seen me beyond his grave
So cold and silent he has remained
That my hair would not fall out in weird places
And I'd be someone someday

Years go by so easily that sometimes I forget
Years go by and make me see that there′s no time for my regrets
No time for my regrets


These are the things I pray
That I'd be someone someday, yeah
That I′d be someone someday
That I'd be someone someday, yeah
That I′d be someone someday
That I'd be someone someday
That I would be someone someday
That I'd be someone someday, yeah
That I′d be someone someday
That I′d be someone someday
