PRAYER FOR THE BROKEN HEART
How can a man take the life of a man
This is something that we all don't understand
Now that girl and her mother are gonna have to live without him
It shouldn't have to be this way for them
So say a prayer for the broken heart
who's left to carry on
we're all hurting for you
you've got a nation standing strong
and the choirs will be singing
all across the land
momma hold your little girl
and we'll hold your hand
One woman broken, a part of her is gone
but for the sake of their daughter, she's strong
oh I know that you loved him, but he'll be alright
yeah he's flying with the angels tonight
So say a prayer for the broken heart
who's left to carry on
we're all hurting for you
you've got a nation standing strong
and the choirs will be singing
all across the land
momma hold your little girl
and we'll hold your hand
That little girl is gonna know
her daddy loved her so
but now he's been taken
won't get to see her grow
So say a prayer for the broken heart
who's left to carry on
we're all hurting for you
you've got a nation standing strong
and the choirs will be singing
all across the land
momma hold your little girl
and we'll hold your hand
Sharlene hold your little girl
and we'll hold your hand
