(Chalee Tennison/Dale Dodson/Billy Lawson)



Her little heart beats so fast

You can almost hear it breaking down the hall

As we fight the final round

Sounds like we're tearing 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, Mommalet 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, holding 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

And 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, Mommalet him go

We don't have to pray about that anymore

That one's been answered, amen, praise the Lord
