A Grandparent’s Prayer © Nov 2005 Rebecca D. Peaden (BMI)/Marchetti (BMI) Demo by "Ready for the Row", Nashville, TN V1 A life of leisure’s What they should be livin’ Instead they’re raisin’ Their children’s children He put off retirement Traded the truck for a van Their dreams now on hold To be parents again Chorus: A Grandparent’s Prayer Whispered each night Let us live to see them walk the path that’s right We’re older and wiser than we were back then So maybe we won’t make the same mistakes again I know you won’t give us More than we can bear These are the words of a Grandparent’s Prayer V2 Shades of the past Appear while they play They see their own children In the things that they say Innocence and longing in their precious little eyes And when it’s dark Their faint little cries Chorus: A Grandparent’s Prayer Whispered each night Let us live to see them walk the path that’s right We’re older and wiser than we were back then So maybe we won’t make the same mistakes again I know you won’t give us More than we can bear These are the words of a Grandparents’ Prayer Yes, these are the words of This Grandparent’s Prayer
