joe tex - a mother's prayer lyrics

[intro]
hush your mouth, mama’s prayin’
and i want to hear every word she’s sayin’, oh
she’s in a room prayin’ hard
and i+i+i+i want to hear what she is sayin’ to god

[verse 1]
my son is nine, lord
and he’s on dope
my teenage daughter refuse to use water and soap
i tell my children something and they talk back
lord, what makes my children act like that?
i raise these children without a man
somehow, lord, they’ve gotten out of hand
i can’t get work and watch ’em, too
so lord, i’m turnin’ my children over to you, yeah
[verse 2]
make these teachers do what they’rе supposed to do
don’t let ’em givе my children grades just to pass ’em through
and that man that’s sellin’ all that dope and stuff?
let the police catch him and lock him up, lord
lock him up, lord, huh

[chorus]
whoa+whoa+whoa+whoa+whoa+whoa
this is a mother’s prayer
whoa+whoa+whoa+whoa+whoa+whoa
this is a mother’s prayer
this is a mother’s prayer
praying for her children in a troubled world

[verse 3]
make these teachers do what they’re supposed to do
don’t let ’em give my children grades just to pass ’em through
and that man that’s sellin’ all that dope and stuff?
let the police catch him and lock him up, lord, huh

[chorus]
this is a mother’s prayer
this is a mother’s prayer
hey+oh, this is a mother’s prayer
mother, pray on
[outro]
this is a mother’s prayer
pray on, this is a mother’s prayer
mother, pray on
this is a mother’s prayer
pray on, this is
