Wayne Newton - Anthem lyrics
[Wayne Newton - Anthem lyrics]
For working a rain for ending the war
For people from the past that we miss
Now our only prayer is this
Let my momma get home from shopping
Without her groceries scattered all
Over the parking lot
With a gun at her throat
Just some dirt on her coat
Let my daddy get back from
Work without any incident
Lord let his home is still be his castle
And I pray the lord now
We used to pray for folks far away
For working a rain for ending the war
For people from the past that we miss
Now our only prayer is this
Let my woman be safe in the
House without a voiceless breather
On the telephone to frighten her
When she's there all alone
Let my kids get home from
School wise and well aware
Of someone waiting there to tempt
Them with his candy
And I pray to the lord now
We used to pray for folks far away
For working a rain for ending the war
For people from the past that we miss
Now our only prayer is this
The decency we strive for
Fight and stay alive for
It's the people that we care for
Isn't that what we're here for
We used to pray for folks far away
For working a rain for ending the war
For people from the past that we miss
Now our only prayer is this
We used to pray for folks far away
For working a rain for ending the war
For people from the past that we miss
Now our only prayer is this
