Somebody Said A Prayer
Billy Ray Cyrus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Little Tommy's seven now and her daughter Justine just turned ten
Pinchin every cent laughin' and lovin' and content
You would never think a couple years ago she almost let her job, her kids, her mind,
Her life go up in smoke right there on the edge right before the fall
Somebody said a prayer
Somebody had some faith
Somebody finally hit their knees and asked for help for heavens sake
Somebody finally found someone who really cares
Somebody said a prayer
He was seventeen and his heart was broke.
The middle of the night, a bottle full of pills, and a goodbye note
Sittin' on his bed, but then he bowed his head.
Now I see him every week and every now and then he talks about that night.
And the peace that came over him talk about a sign.
Can I get an amen well there were tears on his face he said look what happened lord
Somebody said a prayer
Somebody had some faith
Somebody finally hit their knees and asked for help for heavens sake
Somebody finally found someone who really cares
Somebody said a prayer
Somebody said a prayer
Somebody had some faith
Somebody finally hit their knees and asked for help for heavens sake
Somebody finally found someone who really cares
Somebody said a prayer
Can I get an amen oh
Can I get an amen oh
Somebody somebody said a prayer
Somebody said a prayer
Somebody somebody said a prayer

Never doubt the power of prayer. After falling from a 12 foot ladder onto the pavement my beloved father lapsed into a 3 month coma.I prayed by his bedside every day in ICU and the Lord brought him back to life. He told me months later that he had heard my prayers, the prose and poetry I lovingly read to him.In fact, the whole extended family kept a vigil of prayer when the doctors and staff lost hope.This song is multidimensional and healing in nature.Thank you Billy Ray Cyrus for singing this spiritual, lyrical gift of song. Blessings.

Those who don't believe in the power of prayer haven't tried it. This brought tears to my eyes. Powerful words.
