Generate meaning
1
A little girl prayed at the close of the day,
2
Cause her daddy had gone far away,
3
On her little face was a look of despair,
4
I stood there and listened, and I heard this prayer
5
My mommy says daddy has brought us to shame
6
And I'm never no more to mention his name
7
Lord take me and lead me and hold to my hand
8
Oh heavenly father help me understand
9
You know friends I wonder
10
Just how many homes are broken tonight
11
And just how many tears are shed
12
By some little word of anger
13
That never should have been said
14
I'd like to tell you a story
15
Of a family I once knew.
16
We'll call them Mary and William
17
And their little daughter sue
18
Now Mary was just a plain mother
19
And bill was just a usual dad
20
And they had their little family quarrels
21
(like everybody else)
22
But neither one really got mad
23
Then one day something happened
24
It was nothing of course
25
But one word led to another
26
And the last word led to a divorce
27
Now here were two grown up people
28
Who failed to use common sense
29
They strengthened their own selfish pride
30
At little Sue's expense
31
You know she didn't ask to be brought to
32
This world
33
To drift from pillar to post
34
But a divorce never stops to consider
35
The ones it hurts the most
36
There'd be a lot more honest loving
37
In this wicked ole world today
38
If just a few parted parents
39
Could hear little sue say
40
Take me and lead me and hold to my hand
41
Oh heavenly father, help me understand
