justin hiltner – morning prayers lyrics
[verse 1]
most days he was up before the sun
father of six kids and i was one
in the dark he’d dress for work, kiss his wife goodbye
but he wouldn’t leave the house till he’d stopped by our bedsides
[verse 2]
i’m sure he thought that we were still asleep
that morning when i heard the floorboards creak
i wondered for a moment what my dad was doing there
his eyes were closed, his head was bowed, whisperin’ a prayer
[chorus]
right at dawn, morning prayers
he knew about life’s troubles, its sorrows, and its cares
and he knew that each of us would see our share
so he started every day with morning prayers
[verse 3]
he doesn’t know i saw him to this day
i’d thank him but i don’t know what to say
a distant man who hid behind a face so stern and strong
it meant so much to know he’d been watching all along
[chorus]
right at dawn, morning prayers
he knew about life’s troubles, its sorrows, and its cares
and he knew that each of us would see our share
so he started every day with morning prayers
right at dawn, morning prayers
he knew about life’s troubles, its sorrows, and its cares
and he knew that each of us would see our share
so he started every day with morning prayers
