Her little heart beats so fast You can almost hear it breakin' down the hall As we fight the final round Sounds like we're tearin' down the walls He packs a bag, screams goodbye I yell wait as he walks out the door Then from the lips of a child I found wisdom that I've never heard before She said, "Momma, let him go We don't have to pray about that anymore Momma, pull yourself together We've all survived the war" She said, "Momma, let him go We don't have to pray about that anymore That one's been answered Amen, praise the Lord" Yesterday she was a baby in my arms Now just look at her holdin' me together as I fall apart It turned out that the best for her Wound up to be the best for me Guess you never get too old to learn That you can't be too young to teach She said, "Momma, let him go We don't have to pray about that anymore Momma, pull yourself together We've all survived the war" She said, "Momma, let him go We don't have to pray about that anymore That one's been answered Amen, praise the Lord" That one's been answered Amen, praise the Lord
