Just a single mom raisin' up the kids Little Tommy's seven now and her daughter Justine just turned ten Pinchin every cent laughin' and lovin' and content You would never think a couple years ago she almost let her job, her kids, her mind, Her life go up in smoke right there on the edge right before the fall Somebody said a prayer Somebody had some faith Somebody finally hit their knees and asked for help for heavens sake Somebody finally found someone who really cares Somebody said a prayer He was seventeen and his heart was broke. The middle of the night, a bottle full of pills, and a goodbye note Sittin' on his bed, but then he bowed his head. Now I see him every week and every now and then he talks about that night. And the peace that came over him talk about a sign. Can I get an amen well there were tears on his face he said look what happened lord Somebody said a prayer Somebody had some faith Somebody finally hit their knees and asked for help for heavens sake Somebody finally found someone who really cares Somebody said a prayer Somebody said a prayer Somebody had some faith Somebody finally hit their knees and asked for help for heavens sake Somebody finally found someone who really cares Somebody said a prayer Can I get an amen oh Can I get an amen oh Somebody somebody said a prayer Somebody said a prayer Somebody somebody said a prayer
