"A Prayer On Your Lips" lyrics
(A prayer on your lips is like freedom in your hands)
Dear momma
Remember little Johnny Moses
The kid that used to swipe your apple pies
Well, today I saw little Johnny Moses
Kiss the world goodbye
A sniper's bullet got him, momma
He was face down in the sand
And when I got to little Johnny, momma
I found this message in his hands
Dear America
Today I'd gladly give my life to keep ole Glory ruling
Now I hope you understand me cause you see I don't have much schooling
I know back home some folks are filled with hating Christ
Have they forgotten who's backing up our stars and stripes
America, I love you, so please, try to understand
(That a prayer on your lips is like freedom in your hands)
The breath of God will drive the flow of blood across the land
A prayer on your lips is like freedom in your hands
I heard a bullet scream and a body hit the sod
I heard this dying soldier as he made his peace with God
So tell America, momma, and try to make 'em understand
That a prayer on your lips is like freedom in your hands
Dear momma
Remember little Johnny Moses
The kid that used to swipe your apple pies
Well, today I saw little Johnny Moses
Kiss the world goodbye
A sniper's bullet got him, momma
He was face down in the sand
And when I got to little Johnny, momma
I found this message in his hands
Dear America
Today I'd gladly give my life to keep ole Glory ruling
Now I hope you understand me cause you see I don't have much schooling
I know back home some folks are filled with hating Christ
Have they forgotten who's backing up our stars and stripes
America, I love you, so please, try to understand
(That a prayer on your lips is like freedom in your hands)
The breath of God will drive the flow of blood across the land
A prayer on your lips is like freedom in your hands
I heard a bullet scream and a body hit the sod
I heard this dying soldier as he made his peace with God
So tell America, momma, and try to make 'em understand
That a prayer on your lips is like freedom in your hands
