A Mother's Prayer
K. Michelle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Oh)
(Oh) hmm
(Oh) hmm

Last night I prayed on a fallen star
That you never have a broken heart
Though the world is cold, just remember who you are
And I pray that you never have a rainy day
And no matter what people say
Even when it hurts it'll be okay

Tomorrow brings new promise so don't worry 'bout today
The first time I saw you
I knew my life had changed
I would've been dead and gone
But I found purpose when I brought you home
And even though I'm not there to tuck you in everyday
I'm not far away
This is what a mother prays

Last night I prayed on a fallen star
That you never have a broken heart
Though the world is cold, please remember who you are
And I pray that you never have a rainy day
And no matter what the people say
In your darkest hours I'll help guide your way

Those dreams you have I want you to chase 'em (chase 'em)
This bond we got, let nobody break it (break it)
Even when I'm on the road and I can't see your face
This music will never take your place
I love you Chase (Uh I love my Chase)

And that's why last night
I prayed on a fallen star
That you never have a broken heart
Though the world is cold, remember who you are
And I pray that you never have a rainy day
And no matter what the people say
Even when it hurts it'll be okay

And I pray that you never have a rainy day
And no matter what the people say
In your darkest hours I'll help guide your way, this is what a mother prays

Oh whoah
Yeah

Your daddy loves you and I love you too
Sorry we couldn't work it out for you
But we gon' do what's best for you
I pray
Oh I pray




I love you
'Cause this is what a mother prays
