My daddy showed me how to fold my hands My mama taught me what to say They told me to kneel down beside my bed And pray I asked them who I was talking to How did they know that he could hear They kissed me softly on the forehead, they said, "Just say your prayers," Say your prayers… I wandered far from those gentle hills Where the corn grew in even rows I asked questions of the world With answers no one knows Say your prayers… I'm headed back to my homeland now I'm leaving my restlessness behind I don't know how they'll greet me there I don't know what I will find Say your prayers…
