Say Your Prayers

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
