Now and then and I won't be around
Can you just let me know there's an angel looking down?
Say a prayer for a mother's love
Yeah I hope that it'll be enough
'Cause I know that it's tough and he don't understand
Say a prayer for the little man
(For the little man)
A prayer for the little man
(For the little man)
A prayer for the little man
Oh, yeah
Mmm-mmm
