Lately I've been thinking 'bout the way I've lived my life
My eyes have been so blind I could not see
And lately I've been choosing wrong instead of choosing right
So darlin' when you say your prayers, please say one for me
So many roads I've travelled to find my way in life
Some tempt me to a place I shouldn't be
I've tried so many times to right the wrongs and change the past
So darlin when you say your prayers, please say one for me
Just tell the infant Jesus my heart is his forever
And promise me in times of doubt that he won't leave me ever
And ask him to remove these chains so I can just be free
So darlin when you say your prayers, please say one for me
I saw a man just yesterday who's life had gone astray
I passed him on the corner of the street
But who am I to judge his life when mine is just the same
So darlin when you say your prayers, please say one for me
Just tell the infant Jesus, my heart is his forever
And promise me in times of doubt that he won't leave me ever
And ask him to remove these chains so I can just be free
So darlin' when you say your prayers, please say one for me
Yeah ask him to remove these chains so I can just be free
So darlin' when you say your prayers, please say one for me
