Porch Light Prayer

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I punch the clock and come back bent With dust on my boots and bills to spend She meets me there in the kitchen light Beautiful as a Sunday night Two little shadows run to my knees Daddy, look what we made, mama, please [Pre-Chorus] Some days I’m strong, some days I shake Some days I bend but I don’t break I hear my mama in the words she said Keep your hands open, keep your heart fed [Chorus] I’m learning to lean on God When the road gets hard I’m learning to lean on God Right here in my yard With my wife in my arms And my kids singin’ loud I’m learning to lean on God And He’s holding me now [Verse 2] Mama still calls when the world feels cold Says, baby, keep faith when your hands feel old I see her tears in the rearview glass All the love she gave me, I’m giving back My boy got my eyes, my girl got my smile They run like a prayer through the length of a mile [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need gold, I don’t need fame Just a table full and a heart that stays If I lose my way in the evening rain There’s a name I call that carries the pain [Chorus] I’m learning to lean on God When the road gets hard I’m learning to lean on God Right here in my yard With my wife in my arms And my kids singin’ loud I’m learning to lean on God And He’s holding me now [Bridge] When I’m tired and I’m scared When the night feels long I remember who I am And where I belong A son to my mother A man to my bride A father to these two And faith by my side [Chorus] I’m learning to lean on God When the road gets hard I’m learning to lean on God Right here in my yard With my wife in my arms And my kids singin’ loud I’m learning to lean on God And He’s holding me now
