Lyrics
Dad used to have mom's picture
An angel from a scripture
Snapped right before God picked her
And floating without care
Her eyes still drive me crazy
And I see them in our baby
Maybe smilin' eyes will save me
That's my simple prayer
Before daddy left us
A vow to not forget us
Mom just made me breakfast
Never mentioned it, I swear
A single mom's solution
Through guilt our love is proven
He'll eat up absolution
That's my simple prayer
A modern workin' mother
I thought I would discover
How best not to hover
And give my family air
But chicks need momma's breast
Until they pass a life test
Please, don't fall from my nest
That's my simple prayer
Back when I had someone
But life has pulled a fast one
This might cost me our son
It's a nightmare
I'm afraid she will blame me
If he's not back home safely
Please nothing more to shame me
That's my simple prayer
