Brian McKnight - My Prayer текст песни

I have been so far away

Counting the time until today

So long Ive waited for a chance

When I could spend some time with you

Just with you

You are growing so very fast

And I know Im always the very last, oh

To help you with a problem

To kiss your hurt if you should happen to fall down

Fall down

But when Im gone

I need you here to carry on

My son I know you will be strong

Like a burning flame

Youre my claim

Thats why youve got my name

And just to show

Come what may I love you so

And there will come a day

When all thats mine is yours

To take good care of you and yours I swear

I swear

And this is my prayer

Oh, yes

When I look at you, so hard to believe

Youre the younger version of older me

I swear

I swear

And this is my prayer

Oh lord, this is my prayer
