Don't always know all the answers
When people say I've gone astray
Don't always know what I'm doin' half the time
Makin' a mess every day
And yet, my lips recall what I can do when I feel small
I still find comfort in these words
In the voice in the southern night sky
And the words that I learned help me out when I've burned
Every bridge in this pitiful life
And I don't understand all the meanings
And I don't always know what to say
But I'm only sixteen and I think I believe
I can still find my way
Oh â?? I still pray
When folks say I'm lost and won't amount to much
I think of how Momma would pray
Believin' that somebody's listn'in' above
That someone is guidin' the way
My tears still recall, all that she taught, when I was small
I still find comfort in these words
In this voice in the southern night sky
And the words that I learned help me out when I've burned
Every bridge in this pitiful life
And I don't understand all the meanings
And I don't always know what to say
But I'm only sixteen and I think I believe
I can still find my way
Oh â?? I still pray
Words comin' back to my mind
Brought to my knees in the darkness
Words leadin' me to the light
Seeds that Momma had sown
Are all the hope that I've known
They tell me I'm not alone
I still find comfort in these words
In that voice in the southern night sky
And the words that I learned help me out when I've burned
Every bridge in this pitiful life
And I don't understand all the meanings
And I don't always know what to say
But I'm only sixteen and I think I believe
I can still find my way
I still find comfort in these words
In His voice in the southern night sky
And the words that I learned help me out when I've burned
Every bridge in this pitiful life
And I don't understand all the meanings
And I don't always know what to say
But I'm only sixteen and I think I believe
I can still find my way
Oh â?? I still pray
Oh â?? I still pray
