They were praying, praying for someone [D] like me.
Not long ago, [G] I was thinking [D]
of home.
[A] And I wondered if mama was there [D] all along.
I thought I'd drop by [G] as I [D] had before.
[A] But the sound from within made me stop at [D] the door.
She was praying, a sound that the world [A] seldom hears.
Praying, her words [D] were fleeing and clear.
[G] The sound of her voice [D] as she spoke my name
[G] Brought tears to my eyes, [D] my heart filled [A] with shame.
She was praying, praying for someone [D] like me.

Walking one night, [G] I felt [D] so alone.

I hadn't noticed [G] a church that [D] was near.
[A] Till the sound from within seemed to fill the air.
[D] They were praying, a sound that the world seldom [A] hears.
Praying, the children that God loves [D] so dear.
[E] [G] Outside in the darkness, [D] I could [Em] not see.
[G] But I could picture [D] them down on [A] their knees.
Praying, praying for someone [A] like me.
