Grandmama Prayed

Every cloud has a silver lining
I'm shining

Grandmama prayed for me
That the lord would make a way for me
Grandmama prayed for me
Now I'm living blessed
I ain't living stressed and it's all because my
Grandmama prayed for me
That harm would stay away from me
Grandmama prayed for me
It hurt to see her go
She found rest for her soul
But I'm grateful cuz Grandmama

I wish my grandma could be here to see me now
As a youngin there was plenty times I know I let her down
Did things I know that she hated but she still kept me around
And to me her homemade rolls were always the best in town
Didn't feel like the favorite but I always knew that she loved me
She was always on my case but I never felt like she judged me
Grandma didn't play bout us put up a fuss when I got picked on
Mean mugging at the bus stop waiting for me to get home
Grandma was my rock didn't like holes in my socks
Now I'm missing the Sunday dinners I was sad when they stopped
She protected me from the defense like the O line
Said if God don't come when you want him thats when he's on time
Grandma used the little she had to make it seem like a lot
Said when it come down to it family is all that you got
Grandma always prayed to get us through the rough times
So even when I cry I know I'll be just fine because I know my

Grandmama prayed for me
That the lord would make a way for me
Grandmama prayed for me
Now I'm living blessed
I ain't living stressed and it's all because my
Grandmama prayed for me
That harm would stay away from me
Grandmama prayed for me
It hurt to see her go
She found rest for her soul
But I'm grateful cuz Grandmama

Them thursday nights back at grandma house
Meant wrestling on the tv and spaghetti in your mouth
AC in the window, church fans in the summer time
And 1 item off the dollar menu if you stayed in line
The Price is right, the News, and the young and the restless worked the time out
We learned the sequence when sitting in the kitchen on some timeout
My cousins, brothers, and I had to cut up
Til her or granddaddy came and tore our butt up
And they always stuck together like they were some type of a glue
And all the negatives made the positives more easy to view
You either in or you out but never straddle the fence
Came from humble beginnings but the love made it all rich
Using the little she had to make it seem like a lot
Said when it come down to it family is all that you got
Grandma always prayed to get us through the rough times
So even when I cry I know I'll be just fine
Cuz I know my
Grandmama prayed for me

Lord, It's never been easy
But lord I know you see me
I said it's never been easy
But I know you see me
Trying, trying

All those nights that I was crying
Feeling like I was dying
But you kept on supplying
Then you made a way for me
Just like my

Grandmama prayed for me
That the lord would make a way for me
Grandmama prayed for me
Now I'm living blessed
I ain't living stressed and it's all because my
Grandmama prayed for me
That harm would stay away from me
Grandmama prayed for me
It hurt to see her go
She found rest for her soul
But I'm grateful cuz Grandmama

It's never been easy
But lord I know you see me
I said it's never been easy
But you freed me, just like my
Grandmama prayed
