A Grandparent’s Prayer

Demo by "Ready for the Row", Nashville, TN
V1
A life of leisure’s
What they should be livin’
Instead they’re raisin’
Their children’s children
He put off retirement
Traded the truck for a van
Their dreams now on hold
To be parents again
Chorus:
A Grandparent’s Prayer
Whispered each night
Let us live to see
them walk the path that’s right
We’re older and wiser
than we were back then
So maybe we won’t make
the same mistakes again
I know you won’t give us
More than we can bear
These are the words of
a Grandparent’s Prayer
V2
Shades of the past
Appear while they play
They see their own children
In the things that they say
Innocence and longing
in their precious little eyes
And when it’s dark
Their faint little cries
Chorus:
A Grandparent’s Prayer
Whispered each night
Let us live to see
them walk the path that’s right
We’re older and wiser
than we were back then
So maybe we won’t make
the same mistakes again
I know you won’t give us
More than we can bear
These are the words of
a Grandparents’ Prayer
Yes, these are the words of
This Grandparent’s Prayer
