Things I prayed for when I was young That my father would love me like his only son That my mother would be patient with me That my sister would not leave And If my grandpa could see me beyond his grave That he'd think his little man was so great That my hair would not stick up in weird places And I'd be someone someday
Chorus: Years go by so easily that sometimes I forget Years go by and make me see that there's no time for my regret No time for my regret
Things I prayed for in my teens That God would forgive all my evil deeds That my father and my sister would come home And mom could meet our needs And If my grandpa could see me beyond his grave That he'd say a prayer for his family's sake That my hair would stick up in weird places And I'd be someone someday
CHORUS
Things I pray for now in my twenties That God would still love me and Dad would like his new family That I could hug my sister that my mom could rest That my wife would still melt every time we kiss And if my grandpa has seen me beyond his grave How cold and silent he has remained That my hair would not fall out in weird places And I'd be someone someday
